3.5 stars

The Outside offers some great ideas that I found innovative and clever. Especially that the gods and angels have ascended from quantum computers and achieved sentience. (Actually, The Outside made me want to read more 'the gods are actually AI' books!)

I found the writing clunky in places, and never really connected with the characters, although I very much enjoyed seeing the story unfold through the eyes of a neurodiverse protagonist.

I would recommend The Outside to anyone who finds the blurb interesting, but it wasn't a book that I ended up loving.

Thank you! Not yet, but they're both on my list.


Khalid Abdul-Mumin I'll do them shortly, I hope!
