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.
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 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.
FLASH!
