Sea of Tranquility

I really liked Station Eleven, but unfortunately this novel was a disappointment.

Not terrible, but soft, dull, and annoyingly ecologically illiterate.

Some of the same themes are addressed much better in recent books that are also more “literary” science fiction:
William Gibson's ‘The peripheral'
Sequoia Nagamatsu's “How High We Go in the Dark”
John Kessel's “The Moon and the Other”

or even (for the simulation hypothesis)
Ken Mcleod's engaging but a incoherent “The Restoration Game”
