Manifold: Origin

The portrayal of extraterrestrial intelligence felt both plausible and mysterious. I'm curious what inspired the author’s vision for alien evolution and consciousness.

The hard science fiction elements added depth but also made some parts challenging to follow. How did others navigate the technical details without losing the story's momentum?

The layered storytelling kept me guessing but also required careful attention. I wonder whether this was planned from the start or developed during the writing process.
