I read this book in high school and loved it so much! The characters were so interesting, as was the science, and the big moral and philosophical questions it explored.

The second time I read it, I had major mom brain and it took me an entire year to finish it. I found it more boring and the 80’s setting felt dated and annoyed me. Mom brain is a bitch, so I’m going to choose my high school version to remember - that read injected an intellectual curiosity that carried me forward forever after.
