Re-read. I love science fiction that actually reads like science!! I also listened on audiobook and it’s extremely funny how American the narrator Luke Daniels is. I don’t know why he read Da Shi like Harry DuBois, but I’m not complaining

Re-read. Genuinely better on a second pass, like a Greek tragedy. I also appreciate the sociology a lot more this time around - it’s the sociology in the background that brings this book to life, not its central thesis. Audiobook narrator wasn’t great, but listening to this book was also an incredible experience, highly recommend for a second time.
