Cloud Atlas is not like anything. When the novel was published in 2004, critics compared it to everything, invoking names like Herman Melville, Raymond Chandler, George Orwell, and James Joyce's Ulysses.
Cloud Atlas spends half its time wanting to be The Simpsons and the other half the Bible, showing its unique blend of influences and tones that captivate readers.
Cloud Atlas is like If on a Winter's Night a Traveller but doubled, reversed and with greater resolution, aligning it with the tradition of metafictional masterpieces in literature.
