We Have Always Been Here

by Lena Nguyen finished April 17th


I love sci-fi, as it is a great way to get very philosophical, particularly around topics of colonization.

This particular book requires a willingness to suspend disbelief. It has some jumps in the timeline, which could be hard to follow at times but served their purpose well.

It follows a psychologist who doesn't connect well with other people through landing on a planet with 12 other crew members. Everyone seems to start to go insane and the androids start malfunctioning. It was weird but good, as long as I didn't ask too many questions.
