Had been on my reading list for a while. Precision warfare is very very interesting. Also liked that you linked to Hyperion. Best SciFi series ever written IMO.

Hyperion is brilliant... I needed to post the 3 body problem review because I've recently finished reading Project Hail Mary which is the opposite of 3 Body Problem in every conceivable way while still being hard science fiction.

Hadn’t come across Hail Mary. Will have to check it out. Also need to finish the rest do the 3 body problem books at some stage. Only did the first.

The first book is like a prologue. Book 2 really gets into the meat of it and then book 3 gets really weird.

Doesn't work for comms or electronics.

That’s not entirely accurate, although this isn’t my field and I admit it. PCBs that are solderless and thin film transistors are however already being made.

I think it'll be a while before we get additive manufacturing of digital devices.
