Fantastic read! Perfect for fans of weird fiction, existential horror, and hard sci-fi. The jargon is great, the world building is wild, and ☝️ there are resurrected space vampires.
I really enjoy the discussion of the nature of sentience, transhumanism, and empathy. The protagonist is well-written with consideration for the circumstances of his... everything. With how weird the landscape is, his off-kilter attitude sets the pace for the world he inhabits, and you quickly forget just how odd he himself is in the first place. One incongruence here was Siri's sudden deeply bio-essentialist and sexist takes on a few topics, which could have (could they have?) been done more smoothly.
