One the book reviewers shared this heartfelt and warming review, which i totally hands-down recommend for you to read the book as well; especially if you're into IT and Literature.
a real tour-de-force, a beautiful fable that is given legs by the author’s bravado use of the real (Google is in there, for instance, the actual campus) to sell us on a shadow world of the unreal and the speculative. Robin Sloan comes across as so bighearted, so in love with the world — the ancient world, the contemporary world — so in love with love, in love with friendship, in love with the idea that our technical abilities can serve as conduits for beauty, that the reader is swept along by his enthusiasm. It’s a lot of fun — but it’s also a powerful reading experience with a wonderful undeniability. (review from Blip Magazine - George Saunders)
I can't help but to convey that Robin is also promoting the book "House of Leaves" which i'm gonna buy later in the Apple bookstore.
____updates as of May 2024:Going back to Penumbra's 24-hour bookstore, I'm planning to re-read it, then share to you guys the snips and epigrams lifted from the book.By the way, if you don't read books now, when will you be?- MAC
