The pacing of this was way too fast, meaning I never cared about the characters. This would have been better as a short story or a longer novella. There were a lot of really interesting concepts that also could have been explored more if it was longer and maybe even set over a longer period of time. There were also some attempts at humor that didn't work for me and took more time away from the things that I was interested in. I think this could have been incredible if it had been executed better.
