This was one of those books where every word felt measured and precise, very fitting, I must say, for a book that centered on math. But it's also centered in memory, which is not precise and can be blurry around the edges and even trick you into believing things that aren't true. With this juxtaposition, the book is quiet but bold in its ideas, which include the nature of family and relationships, and how those relationships matter when nothing that you do will matter later. This is a gentle, slow-paced book, but it's a quick read at less than 200 pages, and I was impressed with how economical it is with its words. Very well-done and highly recommended.

As an aside, I find the subject of time and memory so fascinating, and have recently read and watched a few different things that focus on the nature of time and memory, namely the Disney+ show Loki, Wonder Woman 1984, Tenet, and The Ten Thousand Doors of January which isn't quite time travel, but has to do with traveling into other worlds. I'm also excited to start reading This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone.
