The protagonist could be anybody from todays world of pandemic induced boredom and negativity. If you enjoy deep thinking, introspective character building, the book will suit you. At times the narrator's voice feels obtrusive, but the story is gripping and you will forget these small voice acting nittygritties.

Enjiyable twists of pop science and life

Reminds me of the Pixar movie Soul. It's a bit unsubtle, but conveys it's thoughts well. Also has a chronic problem of "telling after showing" as if it seems to be scared of leaving anyone behind, but that's a nitpick at best.

A bit pop-lit, but still one of the better ones

Good concept, good story line, well written…Loved the book but given this is unabridged some sections felt needless..

Unabridged, hence a little too long
