Enjoyable Listen

Not what I was expecting, which isn’t a bad thing. Just beware that this particular man vs. alien story is less phew-phew-phew and more chin stroking musefest.

Thought provoking

So many interesting ideas. Some may seem jaded since they have been picked up by more recent SF literature/movies. A compelling listen nonetheless

like a short version of the dark forest

pretty good if you like thus look at the 3 body problem series by cixin

Good book, but reads more like a thought experimen

The narrator was great. Overall the story was ok. It seemed more like a thought experiment than a story. I was interested in the last quarter of the book and wished the authors had gone into more detail about the alien race.

Easily Overlooked Classic

By far, this one was one of the gloomier peeks into what the universe has in store. The story melts a little into worldbuilding, but the narrative remains strong.
