That's fair -- I read some here and there but I recognize that I'm not a hardcore sci-fi reader.
You mentioned that there are other, lesser known books that explore the same ideas in a more compelling way. Can you give some examples so I can add them to my reading list?
- marcellus23 2y agoFor an exploration of the dark forest theory at least, I recommend The Killing Star. Fair warning though, it’s extremely bleak.
- fmoralesc 2y agoI read it recently and while the ideas are there, it is not a great read (the dialogues in particular are pretty bad).
- marcellus23 2y agoI won't argue the prose or characterization is great, but then that's extremely true of the 3BP as well. In every other sense I found the Killing Star to be a better book.
