That whole line of thinking is just dramatic irony though. It isn't just the belter way of life that has become obsolete - the entire economy, every aspect of life, and probably humanity itself has become obsolete by the protomolecule. The rebel martians ain't coming back human.

Or maybe the plot would have been too complicated? I was kind of surprised that Mao didn't kill Marco, because they kept saying he underestimates women and who is more dangerous to underestimate than her? Naomi apparently.

Collateral posted:They never interact though? Unless you mean Pa? In which case she never had an opportunity. He had a dozen gunships surrounding his insecure arse all the time. They were bigger and faster than her three ships. I mean Clarissa Mao. I thought she and some of the rest of the Roci crew might be captured, then while Marco is gloating she turns his head completely around. I understand that it did not turn out that way. She is just made to be underestimated.

ZombieLenin posted:It was weird to me, I agree with everything you're saying, but I was left a little disappointed by the ending. Yes this book pretty clearly marks a turning point from threats from inside of the Solar system to threats outside of it.

I think the weird darkness in the in-between wormhole space is the thing that killed the protomolecule builders, but I don't think it came from there. I think some of them just got stuck there and have been hanging out for a few dozen million years. Then someone stumbles on them and they do what they do.

I find it hard to believe that martians can leave mars faster than new martians are made. The trip takes months, and there are at most a few thousand ships making it, holding maybe 100 each, and there are many millions of martians, so they should have at most a slight decline in population unless they never screw.

There is also blindsight by Peter Watts which is solid, and free.
