I loved all of the philosophy. I loved the way Haig played with the many worlds interpretation. It’s a little bit (a very little bit) like It’s a Wonderful Life with the coolest library, but it’s so much more than that with all the academics. I love the perspective shift from worthlessness to potential. This is almost Sci-fi philosophy, but I love both, so I really enjoyed this book. Carey Mulligan was amazing and really brought the whole thing to life. This would be such a great group read book, because it’s such a conversation starter. I am so glad I decided to read this when I did.
