Jim Rion reviewed Echopraxia by Peter Watts (Firefall, #2)
Review of 'Echopraxia' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I came to this book directly after Blindsight, still buzzing from its challenge and depth. In some ways this book is bigger and more profound than Blindsided, but in others it is less engaging and accessible.
Echopraxia backs off the investigation of consciousness and free will, to look at how God can exist in the context of a rational universe. It's a dizzying exploration of faith, the mind, science and the bounds of human identity...but it can be tedious in a way that Blindsight never was.
