Edit February 27, 2021: I read the first part of this a bit closely, because the setup was intriguing. Then I skimmed the middle, for time, so I lost a lot of the plot points. But then the ending brought a lot of it together into a worthwhile read. And even surprisingly, the weird title fits coherently as revealed in the end. I still missed some key connecting points by my skimming, but this is not at all a difficult or overly abstract story, although maybe it is not quite grounded in any hard science fiction reality. I currently have this ranked at #722 on my ranked list of best-read books lately, maybe a bit low because it does take a bit of effort of paying attention to really get the whole story idea.
