  • Just finished this myself. Really glad I finally got around to reading it.

    Does it seem like a lot of hard sci-fi is really about dealing with existential dread to everyone else? This definitely made it a theme, and I really appreciate the acceptance the characters showed, but it’s still a bit of a bummer. It’s almost like the more beautiful the mathematical concepts being explored, the darker the undertones. Or maybe the settings just make it all starkly bare.
