Pretty good for an airport pick. As a lover of walking, deserts, and mountains I wanted more detail of travel challenges and geography. The theme of aloneness was good and reminded me a little of Lauren Groff’s “The Vaster Wilds”.

I’m surprised to discover Kara Swisher now, a sign of how little I partake of media coverage of the world I live and work in. This book gave me new perspective on my own lived experience of the tech world. It’s clearly through a very Swisher-colored lens, but I enjoy her swagger and could learn from her example to act on my assessments, imperfect as they may be.

This is a character driven story in a dystopian, desert inspired multiverse. I liked the characters and it holds together well for the most part. For a multiverse premise the world(s) felt too small to me, which serves the story but maybe diminishes the mood. I really like the mysterious liminal space as a character in itself, which tempts me to continue the series.

The strangest mashup of history and futuristic sci-fi I've read. Chock full of philosophy, ethics, religion, gender, and politics with some supernatural forces thrown in like a potent catalyst. Fascination trumps plausibility, but the historical references insist that we consider what worlds our ideas might conceive.

Sadly this was my last Octavia Butler novel, but it did not disappoint. Her penetrating use of the supernatural to explore human power dynamics is riveting, uncomfortable, and diverse.
