- MORE PERFECT is foreboding, tense, and fully engulfing. It's one of those books that had me feeling like I was swimming in the words and the world.
- This book uses the story of Orpheus and Eurydice as a loose structure, and to great effect. You know how it's going to end, and you find yourself hoping against hope that it will go differently.
- The discussions of technology in this book were fascinating, given how closely they match some of our current arguments about AI and automation. Everyone is a little bit right and a little bit wrong, and even the best parts get outweighed by the human need for power and control. I'll be thinking about some scenes for a long time.
