This book is phenomenal, and I intend to read it again in about a month. It really stretches your mind on how a sci-fi book should be written. It really extends beyond current science fiction, further in scope than Dune, written in a fractured form similar to Hard-Boiled Wonderland, and oddly enough it makes you feel happy at the end. My only complaint is that the book is a little too sexual, and in the end it will turn off some readers.
