		marcocampos on Aug 4, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: Modern Sci-Fi Book Recommendations? I'm a bit conflicted about these books. The ideas are super interesting but the characters seem very "cardboard-like". Also they are bit too long and by the 3rd book I didn't care anymore... Still, pretty interesting on their own.

Yeah he doesn't really build characters. It's kind of grand narrative that individuals don't really matter. Kinda makes sense in the story though.
