I found Toby to be instantly likeable. He’d been through an experience that no living being in our current timeline has ever had the chance to try for themselves. There was a brief time during his introduction when I wondered how easy it would be to relate to someone in that situation, but it only took me a few sentences to realized just what an interesting guy he was no matter how anyone labelled him.

It would have been nice to see more attention paid to the world building. The narrator hinted at some pretty incredibly technological and medical advances in this version of the future. I was intrigued by what he described, but I also found myself wishing for more details about how they worked and how they’d changed the way society functioned.

Loss of Signal was full of thought-provoking questions. I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys coming up with their own theories about what the future might hold for humanity.
