I’m a big science fiction fan so I thought I’d give it a go, it appears to be pretty critical of the Chinese cultural revolution. I don’t know much about Chinese politics/ history but I thought the government has pretty strict censorship laws, just interested if anyone knows the actual political stance of the book?
Nah, it isn’t that implausible. The smaller dimentions being larger bit is a reasonable interpretation of string theory. The universe pollution part is a reasonable metaphor of earth so that checks out. The space macy stuff works like our navy where every slight advance in naval technology makes ships orders of magnitude mroe deadly to each other.
So yeah it doesn’t work well for hard sci-fi but it maps to near future stuff really well.
