5.0
A breathtaking speculative novel split into three stories taking place thousands of years apart: the past, the present, the future. Byrne has created a narrative world of riches that tackles so many ideas about our society as well as the nature of perception and existence itself.

Intriguing!
I couldn’t give this a full 5 stars just because of the messiness mentioned in other reviews. For example, why is the Spanish word “actual” used as if it has the same meaning as the English word?

4-1/2 stars rounded up to 5. A powerful story, and so much to think about.
