Butterfly recommended me this book once. From what I understand it's pretty good if you're into sci-fi.

Also, I got people to read this at a book club once. Jesus christ the reaction from most people was so bad. Most months we read genre fiction so this filtered them beyond belief.

Because anyone can namedrop philosophers and their central ideas from spending 5 minutes on their wiki page, no one can pretend to have read a prose focused novel and get away with it.
