I almost DNF'd this book.

It relates a story of post humanism where things like communication by thoughts, mind copies, AGI and Singularity are very real. All this is thrown at the reader without any bit of explanation, which makes the book interesting initially.

By the time you know how all things really work and were supposed to be "fun", it felt quite plain and boring.

I did not mind the device the author used to tell the story at all, which I can understand why some people hate it, but by the end of the book I think it was not even worth the struggle.

I might be judging this book too harshly, but I am still interested in giving it a revisit and see if my opinion changes.
