Being a John's subscriber on YouTube I decided to give it a go because unlike most sci-fi writers he seems to be really into hard science and cosmology. And to some extent you can feel it in his book. Accurate scientific descriptions of dying stars and the universe evolution are beautiful and captivating, and the brief stories about scientists in pursuit of extraterrestrial life are also very unusual and exactly what I was looking for. Too bad it all takes around 5% of the book.

The rest fall so much short of what I expected! The book takes itself very seriously, and has this vibe of sad melancholy raising very 'deep' questions on pretty much every page, revolving around religion, technology augmentation, in a clichéd dystopian society that, as genre demands, depicted in a way that you don't really want to live in, and (oh my goodness please NOOO) human feelings and love, that the AI tries to understand in a series of cheesy dialog.

I mean, a good story shouldn't tell the reader how to feel and what to ask, it should *make* them feel it and ask it themselves via the means of narration.īut the biggest disappointment for me personally was the lack of hard science, and solid logic behind the story. Having quite a few plot holes, the biggest one undoubtedly is a computer of a size of no more than a building, that could simulate the entire universe 100% identical to the external one, starting from the Big Bang, and do so with incredible speed, fast-forwarding 14 billions years of creation in a matter of weeks. It's such a massive plot hole that it's impossible to keep the suspension of disbelief.
