Oh yeah, it was a recommendation. Having just picked up a stack of old SciFi pulp (Clifford Simak paperbacks this time), I'm gonna guess that our tastes align enough that you might like it. It is weird though and the character switching is a bit more intense. Not just the perspective changes, the whole writing style drastically changes and even the syntax changes to suit each character.

Reminds me a little of flower for agarnon. I got an anthology of of short stories to get a taste for some writers. I’ve gotten foundations by Asimov to start off from that.

I don’t think I’ve seen that name yet, but I’ve read through Dune, Andy weirs books, hitchhikers, and 1/3 of the EU of Star Wars, that’s 40ish of 120 or so books. I’ll read 2-3 of those than side quest to some other sci-fi for a break.
