I have science fiction since 1970. I chose the audiobook version of this book to experience the author's vision.
It was very poorly written in my opinion. I would not recommend it. If there are isolated physics concepts to explore and mull over I would likely recommend scientific American's publication, or a top rated ajournal in that field.
For the joy of reading and thought provoking science fiction Choose Another Author. (My postscript would be to the Hugo Award Committee-- "shame on you" - don't let the progressive political love-affair with China blind you and deprive much more talented authors from gaining the acclaim and readership such an properly assigned Award deserves.)
