No human being has the reflexes to fly anything going "an appreciable fraction of the speed of light". So in my eyes that leaves us with three options.


  1. They are actually androids, as are all people in this setting. Mankind died eons ago and the androids have continued living on in their stead and have done so for so long they themselves have forgotten they aren't human. Thus the entire book is an ARG advertisement for Black Mirror.
  2. They are actually mutant humans that have developed extrasensory abilities do to living in space for several generations. These give them abilities ranging from empathetic telepathy to predictive spatial awareness, making them greater pilots than any standard, or "Old Type" human could hope to be. Thus the entire book is Gundam Universal Century fanfiction.
  3. The author is a hack just throwing out sciency sounding nouns and adjectives. Nothing means anything and nobody should give it any thought because the author sure didn't. Thus the entire book is trash.

It feels like it's taking itself too seriously to be true pulp. Like it wants to be pulp with legitimacy.
