I read project hail Mary over Christmas, and they deal with this problem too.
Though I can't say much without giving away spoilers.
A great read if you are a sci-fi fan!
- e40 3y agoMy second favorite sci-fi book of all time. Three body being the first.
- satvikpendem 3y agoIndeed. Have you read the rest of the series? It just gets crazier and crazier.
- jcul 3y agoThe rest of the hail mary series?? Or Three Body? I have read two of the three body books, but I wasn't aware of a sequel to project hail mary, would be very excited if that's the case!
- satvikpendem 3y agoThe rest of the three body problem series.
- jcul 3y agoAh got you, I think I still have one more to read.
- e40 3y agoYes, the trilogy is really a unit for me. Books 1 and 2 are really a single story. Book 3 is different but amazingly great.
- satvikpendem 3y agoI recommend the audiobook in particular for this book.
- The_Colonel 3y agoI think Hail Mary (and Astronaut) is more suited for people who don't usually like sci-fi.
- insane_dreamer 3y agoI like sci-fi, and enjoyed Hail Mary very much
- ozim 3y agoIt is not a bad book but I'd say for sure over-hyped. As much as I enjoyed reading it, I would not recommend it as "must have" if someone was into "The Martian". It is not a "must have" more like it is OK for general public and for hardcore sci-fi fans I would say that I can see how it could be disappointing. But yeah no one can easily appease hardcore fans anyway :)
- jcul 3y agoI read it without any expectations and without knowing anything about the plot. It was just recommended to me by someone, but I'm usually into sci-fi, stuff like Greg Egan. I really enjoyed it, but maybe I would have been disappointed if I was expecting more of a mind melter!
- AdamN 3y agoAny recommendations on a mind melter?!?!? Something that is logically consistent is my only criterion (not much of a mind melter if it's incosistent within its own world) ... and the writing not being at a 10th grade level (distracting).
- insane_dreamer 3y ago* spoiler alert * yes, the writing was annoying in parts (especially the Earth flashbacks). What I liked about it was 1) if you don't know anything about it (I didn't even read the back cover) the surprises evolve nicely; and most importantly, 2) it was a story of humans cooperating with another species rather than either subjugating or resisting subjugation
- htk 3y agoThank you for the recommendation! Started reading yesterday and I'm loving it.
- jcul 3y agoGlad to hear, enjoy!
