Orbital by Samantha Harvey

My review in the bad place:

This is one of those rare books that changes what I think a book can be.

A beautiful meditation on the human condition as coupled to the — so-called — "Overwatch Effect." It took me a while to catch the rhythm of the book, but once I was in, I was in.
