Toward Eternity

Beautiful and sad, but not in a way that rests heavy, more a way that packs in moments that will stay with you. Explores language, poetry and music as vehicles for immortality, identity as individuals and as a group of beings. Considers nanite technology, the limits of selfhood, in a very Ship of Theseus sense. How grief and love motivate and change us and the possibilities they might present in a far flung sci fi future. There's a sprinkling of  ‘AI could do bad things', but it's not really the focus of the narrative. Truly enjoyed the choice of journal entries, the notebook as compendium, as story telling mode, and the shifting POV and timeline to keep the story moving forward, even as it maintains a dreamy, contemplative quality. Gorgeous writing.
