Axiom's End's story concerns the aesthetics and tropes of the sort of mid-2000s science fiction that some would describe as "trashy” … and approaches them with the delicacy of more profound science fiction such as Contact or Arrival. The result is a wonderful collision of artistic sensibilities; it's like discovering a Power Ranger in the background of a Bouguerea painting, and finding that it's still beautiful.
