Not gonna lie, I was pretty curious about simulation, so I gave this a shot. Easy to follow. Honestly, I’d bring this on a weekend trip. The vibe is relaxed but still makes you think. The writer doesn’t overdo it—just solid points and good flow. It’s one of those reads you can chill with. I’d grab another book by this author.
