Uhhh what.
I’d hate this book for its bouts of pretentiousness, its wildly shifting tone and its fleeting moments of insight and cleverness, but the book is so much fun I can’t help but respect it.
It's impossible to rate this when but I love Jim so much and I give so many points for writing a book that is this wild.
There's the subtle hint of a deeper story of the old guard finding ways to stay relevant in a world that still reveres them even as it lumbers on and leaves them behind. There's something tragically beautiful in who they are and what they represent and how that is changing with time, but it's something only hinted at.
Some cool ideas and a very strange story.
