Isaiah Inman

While thought provoking I was very hopeful for this book but alas it did not deliver much of anything I was actually aiming for even if it packages Ideas in a fun way. The book is good in its structure, in its pace, it even kind of luls you in a bit. It just practically goes wrong everywhere else. It tries too hard in engaging with the reader in a way that says I know this and you don't, while continuing to explain a very basic version of such that would likely be commonplace to most anyone familiar. Like for example I think the author went on to explain entropy when I would imagine most people have at least heard of the second law of thermodynamics but the way the author explains it has you questioning if they really understand it themselves. None the less the author goes on to make analogies that more or less don't make sense or are far to extrapolated to be applied, and then just goes I've made the connection now even though they haven't. Like I think in the first chapter or so the author spends 2-3 lengthy paragraphs explaining gambling as if to an elementary school student emphasizing on more than one occasion how odds less than 100% over an extended period of time will lead to net losses. Like obviously, but okay so mention it and get on with it but going in depth with it and then I think even made an analogy within the analogy and then restating it again with explanation it's like man from start to finish this felt like a big waste of time. But to finish what I was saying at the end of the analogy the author is like see gambling is just like colonization. HOW DID YOU CONNECT THOSE WHATSOEVER AT ALL lol. A tiger is orange so on monday I don't wear pants type logic. I can't lie I skipped/skimmed over large portions of the book. Overall the book is a "fun" read but I think it completely misses its target audience and the way it was advertised/surmised as the miracle child of cross between two glorious minds across multiple disciplinary fields is a bit of a stretch. Even in the first few pages they backtrack that a bit by prefacing this isn't going to be some elaborate so and so, I think they even said theyre making sure to make it simple but without the sci fi fluff. Simple is a bit of an understatement tbh. & then I think my biggest gripe with the book is they barely touch on the actual premise whatsoever at all. & then when they do touch on it it's questionable. Like somehow the author(s [forgot there was two]) elude to the fact that obviously people are going to have a harder time being a mars colony in a war with earth and then goes on almost in the same breath to insinuate or at least make the case for an argument with the premise of such, that earth and mars would have the same military technology. WHO BELIEVES THAT YMMV

Absolute scam game by one of the scammiest creators to have ever scammed. $25 a month to work a job that doesn't pay amazingggg Every single promise has been undelivered. Will promise one thing then blindside the community with random updates they never asked for. 6+month updates at times with little to nothing to show for them. Have played for roughly 3 years, it's been out for what 7-8 now? and still is no where nearer being completed than the day I started.. Yet has how many people paying $25 a month from selling them a pipe dream? Go to hell, Cliff. Go to hell.
