Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Probably the best feature of the story is the messages that his alternate selves send. "Partial success at Procyon B: found her but fluffed it." In their own way, they tell us as much about the narrator as the narration does.
At the end, when he's the last human left, he accepts the ensemble that humanity has become as being equivalent to finding Cate, and he's content at last. This makes it easy to read the story as a metaphor for any fruitless pursuit of a lost love.
Con: Although it has an emotional payoff, the story has no foreshadowing and no tension. It's fun, but it's simple and linear.
