creating a post-post-modern work but centering the drama around the pre-modern harmartia in a character
the absolute break neck speed of narrative in an incredibly long work, without intermission is very draining and not enjoyable
the absence of charisma from the lead character coupled with the inexplicable attraction and support of everyone around him to him
“who’s story was it?” there were so many conflicting POVs, and about half a dozen endings
the surrealism wasn’t earned or justified
the entire thing is about the possible human cost of such decisions but the only victim we see is imaginary
most of the dialog is essentially exposition of scientific or legal terms
although what happens - post hoc - was interesting. the actual experience of watching it unfold was just watching a bunch of people bicker about their jobs
it’s not about that at all.
my criticisms in brief:
