The nations that had instituted spaceflight had done so largely for nationalistic reasons; it was a small irony that almost everyone who entered space received a startling glimpse of a transnational perspective, of the Earth as one world. It humble us.| Konfetti Explorations Feeds
Half way and I'm starting to struggle. A lot of political details involving many many names mentioned once. It's dragging a lot to introduce a new turn of plot every chapter. So every chapter introduces a new discovery and a lot of political and theological debates around them. It is a reflection of its time. But it's starting to draaaaaag.| Konfetti Explorations Feeds
I'm enjoying the religion vs science pieces though!| Konfetti Explorations Feeds
I devoured these pages in two nights. I had promised myself three, but after meeting my second goal, I couldn’t stop. I needed to know what came next. What came next was life. Life and death. And that was it. The story was hauntingly beautiful, and it pulled me under. It even drew tears from me. I felt such sorrow for them. The thought of not being able to comfort a child in desperate need of affection, and how that breaks them for life. And then she was alone. While I love works that probe...| Konfetti Explorations Feeds
Except she thought, there wouldn't be semesters. Of poetry courses. Or any of the things that had made her life hers before the rocks fell. And then, almost as if he was there, Arjun's dissenting voice murmured in her mind, there will always be poetry. love you: she said to the hand terminal. I will always love you. Even. She hadn't said it before. Hadn't let herself think it There was a first time for everything.

I was supposed to stop reading and go sleep. But then that proceeding scene against Morton sucked me in. I'm so glad I'm rereading this! I missed so much the first time around. You learn to read, but you still need to learn to Read. Then it clicks! The brain is amazing and beautiful!| Konfetti Explorations Feeds
Ohhh this is where I got hocked up last time I read this book! The SI! The Silken myths! Is like getting on a rollercoaster ride and reaching the top before the thrill of the real ride begins. Ah! This is why I love Sci-fi! ??| Konfetti Explorations Feeds
I can't remember much from when I read this so long ago. But some things I'm noticing, how people deal with immortality while in my head the fact that you can transplant consciousness is almost impossible. But in this universe, being highly materialistic, it is. And that memories equal consciousness. But at the same time, they make a big deal about killing while they could just revive, as crappy a procedure as it might be. I see no incentive to caring or to killing. Then, maybe like the last ...| Konfetti Explorations Feeds
... I knew this would be weird. And part of me hoped for a romantic plot. But ok... maybe I should not have, being Murata... but... WTF did I just read??? I'm going to have lovely dreams tonight. Edit: the next day This reminds me of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. I thought it deserved a propper review. I was planning on reading for 2 days more. But the further I got, the harder it was to stop. It was a sort of mental continuation of Conbenience Store Woman. Almost s...| Konfetti Explorations Feeds
