    Can you share where you felt that way? Been a while since I’ve read him.

      The midpoint to the end of Evolution, humans basically devolve and ultimately go extinct.

      It’s been awhile since I’ve read anything by him as well.

      I remember another book where artifically created people inside a dwarf star were dying due to solar harvesting, IIRC. I remember it being depressing but fascinating. Don’t remember how it ends.

        Yeah, very fair. I guess i quite like the bleakness. I love dark and gritty stories.

          He’s an incredible author, I’d put him up there with Alastair Reynolds. I just can’t handle it.
