Though we only encounter microwave beaming in the sequel, Critical Mass
I found the book a very good read, super realistic. 10/10 for realism/science/research and 8/10 for story. It's very optimistic. Nice to read with the war in Ukraine and progressive climate change not filling with optimism.
- lukan 3y agoWill give it a try, thanks! If you like other optimistic (mostly) hard sci fi, I recommend the mars trilogy from Kim Stanly Robinson, in case you missed that so far.
- wafflemaker 3y agoI'll do try, thanks! Think I've read the one in the middle, long time ago, when there were no online books and a good portion of my sci-fi reads were found in a supermarket in 3 big baskets showing up randomly from time to time. Filled with seemingly random sci-fi books. About 22 years ago in Poland.
