Yesssss!! I love shilling this book. The sequel echopraxia isn't as good( sentient brain cancer, local minima in epistemic configurations space) but it's still good. He's working on a third for the trilogy.

It's contemporaneous as the first, main character's father is blasting off to find his son, more depressing ending. similar themes, where does intelligence lie, divorcing it frome sentience/ consciousness, more focus on vampires and the cruciform glitch/ sub consciousness memetic attacks. Less tight than the first imo but lots of interesting things thrown against the wall

the vampire found the cure for the cruciform glitch by creating multiple personalities that would die from the glitch in her brain or something.

It was also cool how the vampires are actually so far above humans on the food chain that they can completely manipulate and alter your sense of self by making you feel thhe right emotions in the right order.
