Listen up, NASA. Stephen Hawking has said it before and he’ll say it again: If extraterrestrials call, do not answer ― at least, not without careful consideration.

Well, we’re convinced. NASA, we really hope you’re listening.

It’s painfully obvious you have no clue who Hawkings is. Hush. He’s been in a wheelchair for a very long time you ninny.

Why would they call ahead when the solar system border is wide open?

Dark Forest’s main premise was absurdly stupid. In an infinite universe resources are infinite.

And what is Mr Laz’s view on green? Ain’t easy being green.

Maybe so, but are the green ones 'easy'?

from review:
The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries’ time. The aliens’ human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth’s defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret.

I went through many years of SCi Fi fun!
Looks good!

Dang! Guessed that some reference to “To Serve Man” would appear before the 10th post, it took 15.

Aliens are already here. They are disguised as Democrats. Pretty sure Hawking fits into this category.

I had so many calls from ‘Rachel from Card Services’, I might have voted for anyone that had her flogged in the town square! Anyone!

If I get a live one, I like to waste their time!
The jamokes calling from windows, I explain the virtues of Linux. Had one go totally nuts, he is swearing and calling me names, even called back a few minutes later!
I ask if his mother knew he spoke like that!!

I don’t want to ruin it for others. I thought it was pretty good.

I thought it was amazing. There are three books, DF was the second. Death’s End is the third. It was just released and we are reading it now. Amazingly full of new ideas.

It had some interesting ideas, but the case for interstellar war simply doesn’t make sense.
