5.0

A dreamy examination of the ever-shifting definition of reality, when the human mind wrestles with quantum mechanics and the implications. Well written/tranlated, these inter-connected short stories are whimsical, with a touch of magic realism, and just enough truth to ground the stories while the more philosophical lessons seep in.
