Funny, enjoyable, but ultimately empty. Half an hour later I wanted another book. Also *very* full of 1960s references that a younger reader might not get.
What did I just read? And why? This reminds me of The Magus if someone were challenged to write it in the style of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I was about 25% through and pretty determined to hate it and I just kept reading because I frequently determine to finish books I should not finish-- and then I just didn't hate it. I can't explain why. I think in 2021 we can identify with the desperation that leads to conspiracy thinking? But there are other themes and the high-level of the writing that also drew me in.
