I thought this book was interesting, but just ok. There really isn’t all that much that happens, and it’s a style of writing I’m not sure I’ve ever read before. Each paragraph was basically a huge single sentence - there’s no proper dialogue notation - it’s all just single sentences.

The overall idea of the book was fascinating, but I just wish some more had happened and it went a bit deeper.
