I found the Cultural Revolution parts interesting, and the tech /cultural infiltration neat, but most of the book I hated. Could not care less about these beef jerky bastards.
minus-squareSTUNT_GRANNY@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 days agoI will say the second book, The Dark Forest, is much better, but I’d read it several years ago and I haven’t come back to it recently. Whenever I recommend it to people, I just give them a quick synopsis of the first book and that’s seemed to be sufficient for them.
