Cool ideas; crap story.
Kim can’t seem to integrate good ideas into the story, so we ultimately don’t remember the ideas or care about the story.
Excellent interludes, introducing sci-fi ideas that truly feel logical and inevitable. Given that the setting is our world and the topic is climate change, that’s impressive. However, the story itself is tedious at best. We follow soulless one-dimensional characters through disjointed and banal experiences. Only at the beginning does any of it feel real or consequential. The rest feels like a college lecture from a professor more into his research than teaching.
The voice acting was pretty good, but somewhere around chapter 27 or so there were some really rough moments. Characters sound whiny and petty rather than passionate and angry.
