I bought this because I like the author's short science fiction novels. But I was surprised and disappointed. This novel gave people a very poor impression. Although there are a few ideas, it is indeed very good and reasonable. But the plot of each unit is too independent. If there were not several common characters that serve as the index of the plot, it would be a standard collection of short stories in terms of plot and concept. The relationship between the story units cannot be seen at all, and there is no main idea or feeling that runs through the whole book. Because of the psychological presupposition of a long novel, the reading experience is extremely poor. It feels like a series of short stories with some forced transitions added, and then revised and modified into a long story.
