A philosophical look into the mind of a man going through the motions of his life as a space salvager when he is given a mission he intends to make final. This novel is melancholic and introspective sci-fi at its core, as we examine the world (which has long since forgotten the loft goals of the pioneers that first took to the stars) through the lens of a deeply depressed man hoping to end his life in a black hole. Slow, often nihilistic, but ultimately redemptive, this book is an intriguing foray into existentialism and the repercussions of late stage capitalism in space.
