I loved the premise of this book! In a post-apocalyptic society that has begun to rebuild, we examine an expansion of a meditation technique - the watercolor quiet. Journeying into this world, one can rewire their neural pathways. To take things further, people begin to adopt this practice... and abuse it. But if you know me, you know that I hate footnotes... For this book, I almost tolerated it. But I don't think it worked. Presented with an unreliable narrator, I knew from the get-go that we could only trust so much of what she said. I felt like the interludes from the "publisher" were more useful in introducing the conflicting accounts. But if footnotes are for you, definitely try this one on for size.
