Yes, I have. Unfortunately, I have to say that I wasn't much impressed by it. I think this one was much better. The book of hers that I love is Station Eleven.

So glad you liked it. It did mess with one's mind, especially as things end up going round to the beginning. I liked that as a conclusion.

You do sometimes hear the idea that we're living in a game, not much more than pieces being moved around. It's an intriguing thought.
