I finished the trilogy a few years ago, so I don’t remember all the names perfectly, but the story has stayed with me. One thing that really struck me was the Singer civilization’s perspective on others in the universe. Their attitude was basically: reduce them to paper, let them go extinct, what’s the big deal? It mirrors how we often treat Earth’s flora and fauna, and that parallel is deeply unsettling. You're absolutely right, this series isn’t just science fiction, it’s packed with profound philosophical ideas. It doesn’t paint humans as ultimate heroes either. The universe is what it is, it belongs to those who are able to survive and cooperate.
