A very curious book... And I can't quite figure it out. There's a very metaphysical and surreal vibe and I can see that the author is trying to make some very important points about language and society, age and perception, selfishness and social constructs, but I cannot figure out what the overall message is. Is this a more conservative book? Is it a true dystopia? It reads similarly to an Ayn Rand commentary which is off putting, but I stuck through till the end.

It's worth a discussion.

A grimly relevant novel in this day and age of growing reliance on AI and questions about what we owe to others versus ourselves. I say grimly relevant, but the book is not without its moments of humor and humanity. I had a blast reading this, and Sara is a fascinating and sympathetic character. Highly recommend
