Maybe I went into this with the wrong expectations. I was expecting something different.
Not to mention that the most interesting thing to me, trying to solve the murder of a person which you have the younger version of in your head, was thrown out of the window in like a second chapter.
This book didn't really feel like a sci-fi book. People are still using physical mail, buying tickets for a train, etc.
Still pretty enjoyable read and I might pick up the sequel, but no promises.
