Flimsy Little Plastic Miracles by Ron Currie Jr.

4.0

I loved the way the story was told, the back and forth between memories of his father's lingering death, his exploits on the island, his tumultuous relationship with Emma. Just perfectly told. You could feel even through his alcoholic fog, his lack of affect regarding his (many) poor choices, his obsessive desire for the Singularity, Currie's (the character) desire to live and love, regardless of the Capital T truth he claims he is telling. So if Currie's intent (the character or the author) was to sell us on the inevitability and superiority of the Singularity, he's actually done the opposite. Probably could stand to re-read this and pay more careful attention to the sections on the Singularity, it requires more careful thought than I was able to give it.
