Thank god for Peter Watts. This book scared the shit outta me as did all of his other ones. His writing was beautiful, and scary because I felt a true connection to real life. He made a bunch of charictors that you could hate but he forces you to fall in love with them, then he rips them apart. Read his other books too. They are just as good if not better and I hope he keeps writing like crazy. I wish and pray that someone makes at least one movie from one of his books. Just to see what it would look like on the big screen.
Watts has created one of the most fascinating alien species.
This is a heartbreaking book that forces the reader to reconsider the nature and importance of his own consciousness.
I found myself wondering what was it exactly I was reading. A sci-fi first contact story? A sci-fi horror story? A sci-fi existential story? Finally, I realized it was all those and then some more.

The EPUB version works fine on my computer but when transfered to my Sony Reader it will not open and merely says 'page error'.
