..Olga Tokarczuk blew my mind away (I mean, of the authors I discovered more or less recently) with her "Flights", "Primeval and Other Times", and "The Books of Jacob", "Flights" being the most unusual one, in terms of structure. It was also the most challenging-well, for me.
Thank you for giving so much food for thought, Nolan. (I don't like "food for thought" expression-I need to find another. Ok. Will do later)
Also, a song comes to mind, after your story( thank you,- it's a great one. )
It's a song by iconic, beloved by all Vladimir Vysotsky-it's about a jet-fighter, where the tale is sang by a jet itself, as if it was a live, thinking thing-and its pilot, and the relationship between the two.
It's a very poignant song about many things-but to me, it's also about a cognitive dissonance.
(same website, didn't do a deep dive. I saved somewhere the song with lyrics translated well, a few years back-but couldn't find it now, so I just posted as is.)

I just gave the song a listen! Awesome. Is this translation pretty accurate? https://wysotsky.com/1033.htm?655
Wysotsky is a legend, yes-I can't think of a person there that doesn't admire him, whoever they are.
as for translation-kinda..but I like this one better: https://wysotsky.com/1033.htm?405
