Vacuum Diagrams by Stephen Baxter
3.5
adventurous informative reflective medium-paced

Finished *Vacuum Diagrams* by Stephen Baxter. Like most sci-fi, it goes super big with very specific niches of knowledge (the author has a background in aeronautics and mathematics), extrapolating them until they’re casually throwing around words like “billions of light years”. I don’t really know what to make of it, it feels like the author wanted to make sci-fi that has an emotional core missing from most, but it’s such a basic and unsatisfying theme that I kept looking for the *actual* theme the book was going for? Maybe something with universal nihilism? 3.5/5, if you like sci fi you’ll like this, if you don’t you won’t.
