Now I get why Nick and Zak from the Nomad Partnership had a shared obsession with the Art and Zen of Motorcycle Maintenance.
I’m about halfway into it, and here’s some thoughts:
The book is tragic, yet beautiful. Robert chats about Phaedrus, his previous self. Robert (Phaedrus) was a professor, who suffered tragic mental health issues which resulted in electric neurological treatments that cured him, but at the cost of splitting his personality. It essentially erased his previous self.
The book chats about his travels with his kid to places his previous self would be at, and chatting with people he used to be with. It’s reads like fiction, but it’s not. If you enjoy the series Severance, it’s a similar concept.
