Really nice read, lots of seemingly technical explanations, made me feel very smart indeed.
If you are coming from the movie, the book version is not as dramatic, the characters are... neutral? they are very thematically appealing characters, but none I really didn't mind dying, except maybe the only kid.
Fun quick read!

I love anime, lots. There is a trope where the main character starts off weak and/or cowardly and stays that way for the entire series. I find that annoying. The main character of this book was the same. The worldbuilding was nice.

Felt like a fantasy Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Some downright laugh out loud moments.

Great fun, good humour

One of the deepest hard sci-fi I've ever read. Good sequel too
