Hahahaha, by "book club thing" I meant that we discussed it in detail after reading it—the ending, the politics of it, the emotional core, why it resonated with us, why we liked it, the thesis if there was any. the 'token' was convinced that all life on Myopia was ended with the sun calling, while the rest of us weren't so sure due to Spectra's arranging a getaway. I felt that the emotional core of it was definitely a lot of bitterness from mistreatment of what you love, a sort of hate only love could create, a despair only hope could sustain. One of my friends said after the first few scenes "I'm afraid to continue, because I don't want anything to happen to them, they're so cute" and started crying at the hilltop goodbye, saying "goddammit, why do you always pick such sad games"; I guess I have a type, ehehe... It was really great, I might write a dissection of this on my blog at some point. I'll link it here in the comments if I do.
