Fascinating, thrilling, intense, thought-provoking book. Deep questions of what it means to be conscious, to be human. I'll need to read it another time or two (or three) to absorb it. Powerfully shocking ending - wow.

Review of 'Genesis' on 'Goodreads'

More of a novel of ideas rather than a good story. I know I missed some of what it had to offer because I was bored with the plot. If I didn't have so many other good books I was anxious to get to, I'd read it again. I still might.
