4.0 Stars
This is the kind of sci novel full of ideas that I enjoy, but won't be for everyone.

With the Chinese cultural focus, it did remind me slightly of The Three Body Problem, but I shouldn't make that comparison because they aren't the exact same which will lead some readers to be disappointed.

This novel is not perfect. I felt like the narrative was a bit uneven if the author trying to squeeze in so many ideas. However I kept finding myself liking those ideas and so not minding the narrative shifts.

I would recommend this one to sci fi readers who read for the concepts rather than perfect plot and characters. If you are looking for new translated science fiction, this would be an excellent choice.
