I want to believe there are billions of tiny china-men in my CPU waving flags around.

I usually despise all physics pop-sci books but this one looks decent since its written in latex at least. retards like michio kaku have kinda ruined the whole popsci thing honestly

it's intertaining, to be sure, but some of the ideas are just a little too, let's say, whimsical. for instance, the sophons are both very creative and kinda stupid, but i appreciate the effort very much

Author has zero(0) knowledge about telescopes. Even todays designs blow his dark forest theory out of water, as any telescope only slightly advanced will discover biomarkers in the atmosphere and signs if civilization. You can't hide in space and your planet sends constant signals since billions of years "We are here!"

It's not so low key communistic propaganda. Like everything about the "future" is just made up as if china, communism and international collaboration with china at the helm is just a given fact. In my opinion it was very good until they revealed who the "bad guys" really were.

You can't publish anything in China if it doesn't please the administration.
He's well aware of that.

That's because most SF now is about gay space cowboys eating pudding.
