Conceptual scifi written in a fast-paced style where ideas, what-ifs and their consequences are always at the center of the story. Qntm seems to want to respect thr reader's time and avoids unnecessary flourish or mood setting descriptions, favoring action and dialogue that moves the story along, that unravels the consequences of what has been set up. When he does linger on description he's sharp and bombastic. A fun, interesting read for scifi lovers who want small ideas to have multiverse-wide consequences described with the love and speed of a hard-boiled geek.
A bit pretentious, the style is beautiful until it becomes repetitive, trying too hard to be deep all the time. The story lure you with the promise of a scifi adventure but the ending is very disappointing, revealing that in the end the book was never about scifi's whatif but about other themes better explored in other kinds of family dramas.
