enough feelings! book thoughts. I love the various levels of consciousness and activity. It’s like having multiple screens of interesting inputs but in narrative form. I’ve never read anything like it before and it’s super entertaining, fun, and modern. A wonderful representation of how we interact with modern tech, but made more fanciful and fun and accelerated because of Murderbot’s enhanced processing abilities. Basically it’s fun to feel like you’re just as smart as murderbot, processing so many interesting inputs at once as he is. It’s like you get all the benefits and satisfaction of the analysis and hard work, without doing any of the work. I think it’s a triumph of creativity and readability!
