The portrayal of alien life feels so unique and layered—I'm curious whether the author drew from real scientific theories or pure imagination. How did that influence the world-building?

I loved the depth but found some sections a bit dense. Was that intentional to emphasize the scientific themes or just part of the storytelling style?

The book seems to suggest evolution is a universal process. What implications does that have for how we see life in the universe, in your opinion?
