Just disconnect your opponent in real time, easy-peasy. Turning ddos attacks into something you can actually do with your hands - Roberts is a genius.

Generational Ships are some of the best sci-fi settings to date. Rather than another planet, humanity crammed into the festering corridors of metal, separated by a tiny layer from the uncaring emptiness of the void between the stars, makes for the perfect balance of entropic barbarism and the scientific apotheosis.

Pan did nothing wrong in Purgatory Mountain.

I thought it was going to be terrible with how Roberts decided to include genderfluid dialogue, another character that existed only to be characterized as lesbian, and of course a tiny sprinkle of interracial romance, but eh, I was wrong. Christians will surely gobble up both the theme and story of this one, especially with how the book is dominated by a religious protagonist.

What to say without giving away to much? It's unique, I'll give it that. Roberts takes an interesting memory concept, the neurotoxic, and makes an entire world out of it. He takes a mysterious alien megastructure and creates a Dantian revelation. He wield together what might seem like two distinct narratives into a Christian symphony, albeit with a serious dose of existentialist philosophy and anti-war sentiment thrown into the mix.
