This is the kind of book that Science Fiction should always be like. The author gives a history of science (through the game embedded in the book) and shows science is not what most people think it is. Science and its theories are always under-determined. There is never a unique right answer to how ...
Mr. Liu's second book in the Remembrance of Earth's Past series, "The Dark Forest" is better than first book. The sociological concepts played out in "The Dark Forest" are fascinating and complex.
