This book sort of reminds me of the video game Night in the Woods. I can easily see the conversations here being adapted into a narrative game like that.

“And so Earth turned into a giant church, a planet of prayer. Everyone prayed with unprecedented faith for another act of salvation.”

I guess everyone simultaneously decided to turn religious at once? Ok

Man this book seems to have a negative view of democracy.

Easter Island statues??

Oh dang someone actually commits suicide in this book

Reading this book for a class project

Look I know books are allowed to be grim, but this feels like the book equivalent of that one guy at the dinner table who ruins the vibe by constantly bringing up how much they think humanity is evil or naive or stupid

Ugh I really don’t like how pessimistic Liu is about humanity

So many things going on, but what do you mean she had been preparing for this role her whole life? When did that happen?

Bro reads like a traveling scholar from a movie. I can’t help but read this book with a David Attenborough-like voice in my head lol.

Bruh Cheng Xin has the most cliche orphan story ever. Like someone literally left her on someone’s doorstep in a basket with a baby bottle and everything

The soul of her sister is definitely possessing her

This book is very heavy handed with the “women’s symptoms commonly being dismissed by doctors” metaphor

Cixin Liu really out here thinking that Americans can’t conceive the concept of defrosting frozen tofu lol

Yeesh, why did the cousins even come back?
