Just in case you catch her crossing the street.

Large numbers of hairless apes with pointy sticks? I think I just found a solution to our billionaire problem.

Ah, the fancy comma. I'm not a fan.

Nope, just enjoying how from the alien's perspective in the book this whole conversation would be considered electronic warfare and viewed as a hostile act.

Also, with your short replies, it's almost poetic that this whole convo feels like I'm talking to a Chinese room

No offense meant.

It's kind of weird you even have an opinion on it since you didn't read it in the first place. Like, why even comment if you didn't want to talk about it?

Right, my point is that you didn't get far enough to learn why they're there so you can't say they're part of the story for no reason.

I found the book to be a fascinating thought experiment on the evolution of human consciousness, how we think and interact, and what it means for us as a species. If you can suspend your disbelief about the vampire I think it's worth the read, it's one of those books that made me stare off into space lost in thought after I finished it.

The Nights Dawn series is good too. Love his stuff.

If you haven't finished it how can you know they're there for no reason?

 

This one makes me feel things.
