It’s just a massive time scale that it happens on, but yes that gives way to feeling like that. Read the first 2, put the last one down halfway through after it started shitting all over the first 2 books with a certain character’s actions.

The second book has a really cool few pages that helped visualize what experiencing the 4th dimension could be like.

The series is more interesting for its concepts than it is for plot or any one character imo

For all intents and purposes this comment triggered me

It’s still an accident. Just look up the definition. I’d wager to say most accidents are entirely preventable as well, but that’s not what determines whether something was an accident

Na, they’ve got managed forests and it’s fine. Your comment had me google to see and it’s actually pretty interesting.

I think they just stare at it, hoping the vulnerabilities come to them in a moment of revelation. A Linux Joseph Smith, the kernel playing the part of the Golden Plates.
