I applaude whoever sought this out to get published and for #cixinliu for giving it his blessing. Absolutely loved the paths this explored after wrapping up #deathsend and giving a bit more depth to already important characters.

He progresses through a series of increasingly cosmic speculations around the technological manipulation of fundamental physics, and because his narrative is historical in scope, he sells the development of thos...
