@mouse hmmm, that’s an interesting take. I enjoyed the one Chandler book I read before, but definitely thought it went on a bit too long, which put me off reading more.

I think I hate Capaldi because deep down I suspect he may be right. That what he claims is true. That science has now proved beyond doubt there's nothing so unique about my daughter, noth- ing there our modern tools can't excavate, copy, transfer.

@fionnain it was really interesting, but ultimately a bit too all over the place. So many ideas thrown in that it felt disjointed.

@fionnain ooh, I recently read his A River Called Time, and have been interested in other books.
