I enjoy how honest the author is in the end indicating that “it’s not good but China lacks SCI-FI greats like HG wells” it’s an interesting take on quantum mechanics. Obviously compared to three body this is garbage but it’s still a fun read

Rushed ending, anti climatic, I’m not sure I really felt anything from it

Snažil jsem se ubránit srovnávání s trilogií Problémem tří těles, ačkoliv podvědomě jsem se jí neubránil. Přesto, ačkoliv je v Kulovém blesku méně mimozemšťanů - vlastně žádní (to není spoiler, je to napsané na přebalu knihy

I grabbed this book after reading The Three-Body Problem. The author writes uniquely, and I like his emphasis on science. He makes the discoveries on ball lightning almost sound plausible. The characters and storylines are interesting. The audiobook was well done, and I enjoyed the listening experience.
