The Thing Itself

Short Review: This is one of those philosophically oriented sci-fi books. I don't know enough Kant to fully appreciate the book. But I enjoyed it. About the first 1/3 is supposed to not really make sense. But then it starts pulling the threads together. At some point I will read a book on Kant and then come back and read this one again.

The Ding an Sich... The three star rating is a temporary rating because this book will definitely need some pondering and possibly a reread or two.I have to admit to getting lost in the philosophical discussions and the several threads didn't help the flow of the novel for me personally. Everything tied up neatly at the end (I think) but this wasn't an easy book by any means.
