This book was wonderful I don t have anything particularly intelligent to say about this book otherwise as I m still in the I love it phase I loved main character Yasira Shien with her love of science her difficulties relating to others because of her sensitivities autism related and how that was handled through the story her love of Tiv her partner and how Tiv understood what Yasira needed to function in a demanding environment And just how great Tiv is in generalAnd the Lovecraftian horrors referred to as The Outside that were loosed on the world by Yasira s graduate studies mentor Evianna Talirr there is something so awesome and terrifying about a force that you can t reason with And there s also the many tentacles and eyes Then there are the gods uantum artificial intelligences that are in control of tech and parcel out and police what humans can access and create The gods that Yasira interacts with once her engineering project lets in the Outside creatures are fascinating and their culture is scary And Yasira s conversations with Evianna are a nice example of different degrees of ability and sensitivity coupled with great intelligence All in all I loved this book

I said I wasn t done with this but it turns out I am I just don t want to continue The making of AI into gods just sort of made me bonkers The science is way above my head and after reading the comments in the group finished thread I don t anticipate liking it any better in the futureSorry friends I m really not this grumpy in real life I swear

download ☆ eBook or Kindle ePUB ´ Ada Hoffmann review The Outside 103 Hed mentor With her homeworld’s fate in the balance Yasira must choose who to trust the gods and their ruthless post human angels or the rebel scientist whose unorthodox mathematics could turn her world inside o. 35 starsA mind bender but not so much so that I couldn t follow what was going on There were some great ideas such as the Gods and minion angels being ascended from uantum computers that achieved sentience and essentially took over shepherding humanity in a way that suits their interests most notably by limiting human advances in science and technologyThe writing was uite good and the characters had a lot of potential I m not sure I would have necessarily picked up that the main character Yasira Shien was neuroatypical without being specifically told The author self identifies on the spectrum but I think one of the challenges of writing a very high functioning autistic character is that sometimes the differences that mark the person s experiences aren t as obvious when the story is written in the third person So much of the differences of experience are just not apparent to an outside observer That said first person narration while possibly opening the narrator s internal processes up to closer examination by the reader has its own challenges in terms of structuring the storyOverall though this is a reasonably interesting book with a uniue feel that makes it worth a second look
