This book has dense and complex ideas, but it just didn't work for me. Probably not helped by the lacklustre audiobook narration (I eventually had to switch to a physical copy to avoid DNF'ing). I read this just after finishing the sublime Cloud Cuckoo Land so the similarities (interleaved past/(near)present/future narratives, reimagining of mythology and big tech/climate change warning) suffered in comparison to the latter's superior (imho) craft.
