I've loved this book for decades. Read it multiple times. Thinking about it a bit, and I believe the Mc is autism coded.

Anyone else read this and agree?

Anyone have examples of this in other areas?

His unemotionality. The way he speaks formally. His precise mannerisms. The way he always seems to be putting on a facade, like he's an alien pretending to be human.

I don't think he was intended to come across as autistic, he just vaguely seems like it.
