This book was one of the greatest books Ive read. It explored a very interesting alternative past were dinosaurs and ants collaborated to become a devloped civilazation. The book is written in a interesting manor where the writer changes between writing factually(about fictional themes) to telling stories within time periods of this tale.
The book also manages to very effectively parody human soceity, I found myself reflecting quite alot about the "parody parts". Now it does lack the emotioanl bit of many books but in this case i do not really think its a weakness just somethijng the book wanst made to represent.
To me this is quite close to a perfect book within its genre, it has a captivating story, an incredible world building and social commentry.
I reccomend this book if youre feeling for something in scifi, something about alternative history or just something fresh and new to experience.
I do not reccomend the book if you want something focused on human relations and emotions.
