Idk yet! I'm still reading it lol. I just got to the part where he ponders explaining sleep to Rocky, and it reminded me of that. Then I saw your comment talking about getting energy directly from sunlight and I was like "this dude must be reading it too" lol

It's been enjoyable so far! Nice change of pace from what I've been reading. I just want Ryland to curse one time. He's too wholesome.
