This book is a fantastic exploration of the idea of conciousness and what it means to be human. While the many plot lines are confusing and seemingly disjointed at first the way they end up tieing together really emphasizes a lot of my main takeaways from this narrative. The connection of humans, what it truly means to connect and the importance of trying to do so. There are many fascinating conversations with evrim and the supporting cast about the nature of humanity and the way we would handle discovering a new form of consciousness. Definitely will be returning for a reread to try and unpack even more of the rich ideas that these characters bring forth. Can not recommend this book highly enough!
