Neal's books aren’t for smart people like Quantum Mechanics books are. I know.
But then again, what is smartness? Isn't a lot of what smartness is, is having the right background and preparedness?
All caveats and nuances can't be included everywhere, right?
I read Andy Weir's Peoject Hail Mary. It's something that I liked, yeah, but would have much more appreciated when I was 17. Not right now.
Now I like my books to be more wide, covering multiple aspects of reality.
E.g., when you read Permutation City, it is not only some SciFi, but it enables you to think deep and hard about consciousness and self.
I am yet to read Dune, but I think it is also a "deep" book.
