The seamless integration of fantastical worlds with scientific concepts kept me hooked, but I wonder what inspired this unique mix. Was it a conscious choice from the start?

Those sections added depth but also made me curious if they were essential to the plot or if they could have been trimmed for a faster read.

The concept was fascinating but also complex. I'm wondering how others interpreted the feasibility of such a communication system in real science.
