I feel that more warning is needed for this book. Everything you’ve stated is true, but the book’s first chapter contains some of the most disturbing depictions of stuff I don’t know I can type here on HN. Additionally, the last chapter put a really bad taste in my mouth.
That said, the stuff that deals with AI and its implications on the universe was great and more relevant than ever. The way PI works is pretty similar to how we use subagents to tackle large repos!
- heed 2mo agoyea the beginning is pretty gory / horrific. it almost made me stop reading but you can't deny the world building is.. unique
- EarlKing 2mo agoYeah, there's no question this one's over-the-top when it comes to trying to gross out the reader, but I'd like to think people can overlook that.
- ajmurmann 2mo agoIs it only the first chapter? I remember it to be the bulk of the book.
