   Reader note

   A middle-aged critic's book recommendation: A crossover book, for ease of understanding, it can be seen as a combination of hard science fiction, strong strategy, and high-minded viewpoints, like "The End of Ten Days." However, the main characters are a bit abnormal, and if readers laugh uncontrollably, it's not the author's fault. The logic is rigorous; the knowledge from 17 disciplines is supported by orthodox theories, not just popular theories disguised as science. The story is ingenious, with interconnected plots, numerous foreshadowing elements, and all plot holes are resolved; it's not a fragmented story pieced together solely to prove the author's point. I don't care if this book turns my life around or changes my fate; the questionable title won't introduce me to any interesting souls.
