3.0

It's a high 3. I love Lem's books with my whole heart for his world building. This book concept was great, and was nicely executed. Sadly I felt like half of the book was filler. The prologue was such a nonsense. The book instead of focusing on deciphering the code, focused on random things that didn't connect to the plot (and I'm a person who likes heavy world building in books). The main character was a old white male who was a professor version of "I'm not like other girls" ("I'm not like other professors, I'm better). He was "misunderstood", smarter then everybody. I hated him with every cell of my body. And not in a good way, Ihated him in a "I wanna throw this book across the room" way.
