Love circular stories, love the unending search for a place to call home, love the criticism of consumerism and late stage capitalism.

Not too keen though, on the tendency the narrative had of putting all of humanity in the same bag for the sake of its connecting narrative. I really wish that just as much as it criticized capitalism in-text, it did the same for colonialism— at times it even felt like it was romanticizing it, just for the sake of a metaphor that didn't quite land. 

For example I don't think that colonialism and genocide perpetrated by very white nations when "discovering" the "New Worlds", or mass consumerism and ecocide due to corporatocracy, should've been drawn as a parallel to what happened in Rapa Nui (who's never referred by its actual indigenous name) for a cautionary tale. Even less so coming from a white author.

It does have beautiful turn of phrases though, but I think I would've liked it better as a space opera.
