notes

the interview per chapter format is challenging. the story, plot and themes can easily be lost, depending on what part of the interviews are focused upon.

in this case, i wouldn't mind a more plot driven narrative as i was very intrigued by the corporate themes, the spaceship setting and of course the OBJECTS.

what was very entertaining was how poetic and philosophical all the interviewers were.

summary

In this book, Ravn meticulously records a series of conversations, testimonies, and observations, each of which provides a glimpse into the lives and inner thoughts of those working at a remote facility located on a distant planet. As the narrative unravels, the reader is presented with a chilling and unsettling portrait of human isolation, control, and the fragile nature of reality.
