I wanted to like this one more, but the autistic chapters just slowed my reading down and felt like too much effort for not enough payoff. I felt the story was moderately interesting and always like Bank's writing, but this one just didn't have the same gravitas or humor of his Culture novels and I came away from it underwhelmed. Hopefully, Against a Dark Background and The Algebraist are better!
