I spent a good part of this book scratching my head. First I'm not sure where the story is going, then when I think I'm following it all goes wonky and stays that way for quite some time before making any sense again. But well worth the read.

I found several common themes; 1 to a recent movie and several to The City and the Stars, Arthur C. Clarke. The audio had a male and female narrator as the perspective switched, which helped reduce confusion due to the change, the story did move along [even when confusing], and many kickstarts to a new twist just when you thought the book was about to end, which was nice.

It's been awhile since I read a good hard-science sci-fi.
