I'm not sure if I'd have enjoyed the book as much if I wasn't a doomer that likes science. Its really good though, its a bit abstract in its ideas, which allows for me the reader to project myself more onto the book and enjoy what its saying while sort of holding a mirror to my own thinking.
Reviews and Comments
Hello, I'm kebabslob. A leftist who likes to read! I mostly like sci-fi or something that makes me think. I also have been reading books about my sexuality, as I have found myself to be a "demisexual".
Some of my recent favorites have been: "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", "The Cybernetic Tea Cafe", some of those old R.A. Salvatore books about Drizzt, another book I really liked that was about a magicians apprentice where he meets a woman when he's at a young age, then gets trained to be a mage, and travels to a different world, and becomes cool there and meets his wife and then grows up n stuff and then comes back to the other world and meets that older love interest and its like "eh"... But I can't remember that book's name sadly!

Great read for some retro sci-fi
4 stars
The book was nice and atmospheric, with a timelessness that is inherent in stories of other worldly activity. But to be honest, the ending felt kind of flat. Wished for a more doomer ending or a more emotional ending than I got

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying Katz' "Cybernetic Tea Shop" and wanted some more of their writings, so I checked this out and it was pretty cool. As a h*tero, I had to close my eyes and skip a few pages during one part, but I really enjoyed the book!

Simple but with heart
5 stars
This book is simple and not very long, but has a lot of heart. I feel like it came in, said what it needed to say, told a good, asexual love story (!!!) and left. It was very pleasant and nice to read, while giving the reader something to reflect on and not leaving the reader believing there is too much filler or anything extra.
