Absolutely loved it, bought the second book in the trilogy before I finished this one. If you're a fan of a little hard sci-fi with some social commentary and aliens, I recommend it. Some parts of the book feel fantastical, but without losing the grounded "this could happen" feeling. The only "problem" I had (and it's not really a problem) is keeping up with some of the characters, just because I haven't had much exposure to Chinese culture and names. Still an amazing book.
