Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell

Possibly the most insightful, sublime, and creative contemporary novel that I've read. On its surface, "CLOUD ATLAS" is an experiment in different genres and different narrative voices. Yet, as the stories progress and regress, the reader becomes cognizant of the cyclical nature of human conduct. Predacity, eternal reccurrence, connectedness, and truth perception permeate the pages of David Mitchell’s masterpiece. The scope is truly epic, spanning centuries and continents, while tales are yarned of predators and their prey (from all perspectives). It’s a stirring read that was such a grand experience that it has permanently modified my view on humanity, all for the wiser.
