FYI great ideas but poor execution. Really had to power through the first book. 2 and 3 were a bit better. 4 shouldn’t have existed. I’d instead suggest Lem or Asimov stuff.
Lol. Lem and Asimov aren’t really in the same category. Scifi? Sure but one’s adjacent to comedy and the other two are hard scifi. It’s like saying Spaceballs isn’t as good as Dune because it doesn’t have the same world building. And honestly, if you had to “power though” the first book maybe you should have just passed on the rest. There isn’t a test at the end.
And he took it personally
