Synopsis

This book is the proud work of the famous Canadian science fiction writer Robert Sawyer. Sawyer has always been bitter about the fact that this work lost out to "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and failed to win the Hugo Award. This book fully demonstrates the shocking power of science fiction. Two different kinds of aliens came to the earth at the same time, and together with the paleontologists on the earth, they explored the mystery of the synchronous periodic destruction of civilizations on different planets. Strict scientific extrapolation brought the explorers closer to the truth: there is actually a super life in the universe that controls everything! Just at this moment, a supernova powerful enough to destroy three civilized planets erupted...

Reader comments

The plot of this book is so shocking, it reminds me of "The Three-Body Problem", which also explores alien life and the mysteries of the universe. The scientific extrapolation method in the book is very rigorous, which made me feel like I was actually there, exploring the truth with the protagonist. Moreover, I particularly like the character of Horace, his appearance and personality are very unique. This reminds me of a relationship I once had, and that special woman was so different that I was fascinated by her. I think this book is not only a science fiction novel, but also a reflection on true love and life.

There Is No Longer Pure Science Fiction in Science Fiction, Right? If You Don't Accept It, Come and Use It

With time travel/rebirth/long Aotian/system all over the street, it's hard not to doubt that it was written by a computer. Is there any real hard science fiction literature?
