Zimmerman's narration (or, rather, lack thereof) appears to completely disregard punctuation. What truly ruins the whole production is the fact that the cadence of Ms. There is a brief moment towards the middle of the book where one of the characters (Inspector Jean Genette, a flesh-and-blood person) starts to speak in a monotone drone that is slightly reminiscent of the stereotypical 1950s sci-fi robot voice meme, but that's about it.

REVIEW OF THE STORY Kim Stanley Robinson has a pretty narrow audience.
