I've found that usually, sequels don't live up to their predecessors, but in this case, A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor was better than An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. I think this is mostly due to the fact that we get a few different POVs. While I'm not usually a fan of switching between the perspectives of different characters, it was done so well here.
On top of that, Hank Green's wisdom and observations are so smart, meaningful, and comforting. This is exactly how I want my sci-fi to be written.
