Well.. that was an interesting novel. Perhaps somewhat Vonnegut-esque in its time skipping, fourth wall breaking devices- but mixed with something Tom Clancy geopolitical thriller tropes? Something that, but supporting Jorjani's Iranian focused, philosophically innovative inclinations.

A sequel to Faustian Futurist, that does actually end up linking with the first in the series (rather than picking up where the first left off), this one aims to really stretch the ethical acceptance of the typical reader, as time travel timelines layer one upon the other, extrapolating the speculative fates of readily named real people. Some may balk, but no issues for an immoralist such as ourself! Stoked to read the next installment!1 Michael Nguyen181 17

I weirdly d this book. It's starts off in Gotham in the future, 2100 and something. Then it jumps to the 80's, then to the 70's. There's a lot of reference to various philosophers and heady ideas, in fact the philosophical info dumps were great. I particularly loved the parts about Rene Guenon and Julius Evola. It's a very unbelieveable story but it weaves so many weird and interesting things reincarnation, time travel, astral projection, religion, philosophy, politics, architecture, art. I d the mentions of Max Ernst, Rene Magritte, Brutalism, and Art Deco. The author mentions Art Deco a lot! Assasination attempts, timeline reconfigurations, Nordic Aliens. One scene that made me so sad when Jason Jorjani died from the Nordic Alien Spaceship. Yes very fucking weird. And I it.This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.Show full review Kyle10 23
