A fast-moving science-fiction thriller with some interesting ideas behind it. It was all go-go-go! Never a dull moment. I could have used a little introspection occasionally. But things moved so fast the narrator had to spell it out for us:
“We're more than the sum total of our choices, that all the paths we might have taken factor somehow into the math of our identity.”
And so on.
I can imagine this adapted to film, seems ready for it. (It is being adapted for a series) I liked it a bit more than Recursion, which lacked interesting characterizations/dialogue. This was similar in that it centers around technology that humanity is not prepared to handle. It was better focused here with the narrator taking us through his journey and struggle.
