I enjoy Peter Watts' books. The background and world building are thought-provoking, exhilarating, and well-crafted. The characters are well-motivated and richly textured. I wish he did better research into computer science and engineering. However the "mindless" wildlife net software is eerily prescient of well-trained large language models and chatGPT. The biology is a little simplistic but still fantastic as one would expect from Watts' background. 5/5 Stars. I look forward to reading the next book.
