Of his novel, University of Hawaiʻi professor emeritus Paul Lyons wrote:

​

"This work by Peter Britos is some of the most interesting extrapolative fiction written in and about Hawaiʻi to date—a truly exceptional, outsized, audacious, brilliant piece of writing, on the imaginative and conceptual scale of David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas or William Gibson’s Neuromancer."
