mycorrhiza finished reading The Fractal Prince by Hannu Rajaniemi
I found the first book a bit stronger than this one, but I still requested the final volume from my library so I can see where this story goes.

I've never been able to start reading a book the same day it was recommended to me, but I just finished something else and the library had this.

Ok, I'm primed by just having read it, but Sheldrake doesn't draw a comparison between hyphae and Lem's ocean in Solaris I'm gonna scream.

It took me a while to finish Lifehouse because I found enough people to "book club" it with me. It was well-received and a great way to read this. I hope to write a proper review soon but I'd recommend this to anyone interested in its premise.

I didn't realize that this was funny before
5 stars
I read the older English translation decades ago, and I only remember the basics of the plot. This feels like a well-written book, so I'm inclined to think that it's a better translation.
But this second reading also comes after I've spent time in academia, and even engaged in the study of human consciousness. I wonder how many people understand that this is a biting satire in addition to an exploration of loss and what it means to be human? I didn't before, but I do now.
