I thought this was a resoundingly fine book. It had a couple of interesting concepts but didn’t go anywhere particularly interesting with them. The characters weren’t terribly drawn but weren’t too interesting either. After the first couple chapters it felt very paint by numbers, nothing surprising happened, and short of a couple passing mentions of the Ship of Theseus the philosophical ideas were about as glossed over as the science behind the story. It felt like it was straddling different ideas, unsure weather to be a light hearted romp or a deeper exploration and never really landed on either. Plus the author / main character kept using a couple words over and over again that felt really out of place. The ending felt very abrupt with neither much in the way of setup or payoff. Note: I was given an ebook copy of this book in exchange for a fair review.
