Interesting premise, leaning a bit on psychological thriller. I didn't like the pacing of it a lot since at times it infodumps on things that don't have any impact on the immediate events. At times it felt like an excuse to present some ideas the author has regarding human-centric science, religion, grief, and guilt, rather than a novel with an actual plot and conflict.

I very much liked this book. I loved the madness of the conversations and the human like reactions to what was happening. It's hard to get into, and the middle of the book is very dense, but it's an interesting view of humanity.
