loved this book. when I want to get my mind in a forward looking state, I'll listen to one of the final chapter and then do some work.

Similar to the previous book in the series (Three Body Problem), this book is a mix of diamonds of interesting ideas sprinkled around a mass of gray, featureless goo that the reader has to painfully wade through. Some parts are not too logically consistent or believable, some parts are annoyingly spurious, some parts are annoyingly fast, but similar to the first book, some parts are ambitious and interesting enough that the whole is worth a read. I liked it (3/5), but why does it have to be so painful? Apparently the third one is Even longer. I hate it, but I'll probably read it. *cries* 3/5
