The Dark Forest
Liu Cixin (2008)

█ Slow start, good middle, abrupt end.
█ Segment on male fantasies about female
█ literary characters much more enjoy-
█ able to read than actual female cha-
█ racters written by men. "Highest form
█ of respect" very apt. Why didn't Tri-
█ solaris use the Sophons to manipulate
█ the mines' thrusters at any point af-
█ ter the plan was revealed, rendering
█ the threat moot and foiling the plan?
