Finally done. This was a really tough read. I had to use my Kindle dictionary more than ever, haha!

But nevertheless the story held my interest enough to not give up. Blindsight was hands down the most hardcore sci-fi I've read so far. You have never heard something like this ever before. Most first contact books or movies are getting their ideas from something we humans can relate to. The aliens are looking and behaving like something we know, be it human or animal. But Peter Watts, boy does he fabricate something. Those aliens are really alien. Add this to a dark and hopeless picture of the future and toss some scientifically backed up vampires in the mix and your're set.

It was really interesting but in the end it was just a bit to difficult and tedious to read for me.
