An interesting novel about a concept that I hadn’t heard of. Liu does what he does best, taking a mysterious concept and going crazy with it into the hypothetical. I always enjoy how he takes the sci-fi stuff and connects it to the real world, in this case to international wars.

It didn’t reach the heights of the Three Body Problem, but it was an entertaining book nevertheless.
