On the surface it seemed not to be the most philosophical sci-fi/speculative fiction, but as I progressed through the book I was delightfully proven wrong. There is a thoughtful and compelling philosophical story underpinning the actions of the characters, ones variously coloured by eco-fascism, nihilism, hope, and clever metaphor.

Much of this book read quite cheesy to me, though that improved at about 50% of the way through. Very glad I picjed this book back uo.

It was heavy-handed with the hard (pseudo?)science, but it successfully avoided becoming boring to a soft-science girl. I thought the storylines were expertly woven and the characters endearing.

Hated this for the first ⅔ or so. The idea of the game Three Body was so … I don’t want to say it was dumb but I sure wouldn’t play it. Boring.
