I picked this book at my local library and I was wondering if it's worth a read. Anyone read it in the past and had a good experience?

I liked it fine. Read back in my later sci-fi days. I was hoping Satoshi Kon would make it into an anime till he went and died.

The characters are kind of fun, but the author doesn't bring them enough warmth, imo, so you'll have to use your imagination. It was cute.
