2 novels in this book, and they don't have anything to do with one another, although they take pace in the same universe

I liked the first one way more - it is about the gruesome mathematica puzzles and tricks in an extraterrestrial building which is alive, and nobody knows why, how, when

The human society has advanced in body transformations and drug use - this story has a touch of steampunk about it, athough I didn't exactly understood why the members of the crew were chosen, as some of them didn't seem to engage with the building or the mystery in any way, shape or form

Given out to a friend.
