    I’ve not heard of those books before, I just looked them up and sounds very interesting thanks! Yeah that sounds pretty dark haha, Kind of like Mickey 17 but they just keep on throwing him into a blender or something. I guess there was that one episode (actually two) of Black Mirror where the guy cloned the people and put them in the space MMO to torture them every day. Great episodes. I’ll check out those books :)

      Always happy to spread the word! I know the books from a reading list of a linguistics podcast (lingthusiasm) since communication with aliens is also a theme (at least in the first book). It’s great and deserves to be much more known. I love how different the books are and still they form a unit. The first book alone spreads over generations and still manages to form a coherent story.
