My opinion:
- Interesting concept of a Dark Forest & cosmic sociology axioms.
- Unpleasant characters: Ye Wenjie (narcissistic and psychopathic), Cheng Xin (a kind billionaire lol).
- Disappointing ending—the last few chapters feel weak.
Bonus: Absolutely fascinating interpretation of the first book by @yogthos@lemmy.ml.
Afaik the first season is a mix of stories from all 3 books. For example “brain” part is from 3rd book.
Good to know. I’m currently listening to The Culture series by Ian Banks. I really dig the post scarcity benevolent society.
