While it was definitely creative, it was also impenetrable with too much going on. I read the first half. Put it down and read a different book. Then I started it all over and got about 3/4 of the way through it before just quitting. The idea that people are just data is... unsatisfactory to me.

Also, Rajaniemi referred to a particular character going into "autism mode" for things she had to focus on tightly. This didn't sit well with me. Perhaps it's a colloqialism in Finnish.
