Coming back to Sci-Fi after a long break, Blindsight hit me like a freight train.
        I wasn't easing back into the the genre, I was thrown straight into the deep end!And honestly, I wouldn't have had it any other way. This book didn't just challenge me: it confronted me. It forced me to reckon with questions I hadn't thought to ask" What is consciousness really for? Is sentience a feature or a bug? Watts doesn't write for comfort, he writes ike he's trying to wake something up inside you, something raw and uncomfortable. That made the ecperience feel less like entertainment and more like confrontation.
        It was humbling, honestly. I've always appreciated smart Sci-Fi, but Blingsightmade me realize how rare it is to find something that doesn't just pose big questions, but demands you sit with them. Half the time I was flipping pages, the other half I was staring at the wall, trying to unpack what the hell I'd just read. It reminded me why I loved this genre in the first place. Because at its best, Sci-Fi doesn't just speculate about the future. It pulls apart the present, the self, and everything we take for granted.
