Great book. I really enjoyed the philosophical argument put forward about consciousness and humanities place in the universe.

> “It matters,” she said, “because it means we attacked them before Theseus launched. Before Firefall, even.”... She leaned forward, bright-eyed. “Imagine you're a scrambler, and you encounter a Human signal for the very first time.”

So the central premise is interesting and it's very well illustrated by narrating the story and background from the view of a person with a particular brain condition that has been imperfectly rectified by future medicine.
