Overall this was a fun story to read. The style is unique as the story is told across millennia. The timeline jumps around a bit, which takes some getting used to, but it comes together nicely. It is a calm story without any central villain, more just people (and aliens) trying to find ways out of tricky situations and seeking a more harmonious world/Universe.
The tech and sci-fi elements are very fun. The idea of a singularity is central to a host of fascinating and cool technology. It also makes you ponder a bit what we might actually be able to accomplish one day as a species.
This doesn’t read like a conventional trilogy. The Chaos Machine is the central story. Mankind 2.0 fills in some details for the Chaos Machine then extends a bit extra. Second Contact is a full second story set far ahead on the timeline.
All and all, they are enjoyable sci-fi tales with some thought-provoking ideas.
