This book is so long but there is not really any need for it. Entire chapters could have been a poetic sentence about the future we should strive for. It’s just a series of snippets from a vague impossibility optimistic future with a weak thread through it all. All plot is really forced so instead of good Sci-fi it’s just half-baked science and half-baked fiction smushed together and double the length. The accents are really hit or miss. Lots of nationalities represented by only a few voices and it’s a bit grating.
