Scalzi taught you that the best way to survive intergalactic bureaucracy is with a sharp tongue and sharper instincts—Taylor doubles down on that bet, throwing a sarcastic software engineer into a universe where cloning yourself is the only way to stay sane. The humor cuts just as deep, the stakes multiply with every decision, and the problem-solving hits that same intellectual sweet spot where wit matters more than weapons. If you loved watching colonists outthink their corporate overlords, wait until you see what happens when the hero is the exponential threat.
Taylor skewers sci-fi's self-seriousness with the same irreverent glee Scalzi brought to military politics, but here the satire spreads across star systems at relativistic speed.
Cloning yourself is the only way to stay sane in a universe this absurd.
