![]() ![]() It’s not 1-star because the whole Elysium and Autoverse concept is awesome, the whole uploading a copy of your consciousness into a super cloud computer with limited power that runs on a sort of exchange where you’re paying for and competing for precious processing time is super cool and I like how the virtual worlds are approximations (efficiency matters!). ![]() I really struggled with rating this novel. The plot summary on Fandom is more fun than the actual book. If you read the plot summary on Fandom then you will see how little Kate, Peer, and Riemann matter (I don’t even think Riemann is mentioned in the whole summary despite him having an entire thread in the book). Gut all of that - it becomes incredibly tedious and annoying. ![]() Being skeptical is fine, but SO MANY pages, oh so many pages are simply her complaining to Paul. It would have been way more fun if the whole Kate and Peer plot was completely gutted, the whole Thomas Riemann line was gutted and Maria was along for the journey and together with Paul they could have been a fun dynamic duo. This whole thing should have been a fun 80 page short story. The entire Kate and Peer thread could have been axed. There are a few parallel plot lines going on and really none of them make much of a difference. I grew so tired of this schtick that I nearly DNF’d the book. He pays her handsomely and is very upfront, but page after page after page she dunks on him the entire time, doubting everything and being a sarcastic preachy pain. A whole lot of this book is dedicated to Maria never believing in Paul and being an absolute pain in the backside about it, even when faced with direct evidence contrary to her views in any given situation and despite Paul never really giving a strong reason to doubt him. Paul plays the super levelheaded character and Maria plays the snippy skeptic. None of the characters feel developed at all, they are simply there for exposition. Maria Deluca might be the most annoying character ever created from a pen and not in a “love to hate them” type of way. Once I hit about the halfway mark I started losing interest fast, but mostly due to the terrible characters. ![]() I went into this one with such high hopes, it had a very strong beginning and the overall concept is mind-bendingly awesome.
