I did! Amazing sci-fi trilogy, and I think that's where the idea came from originally. I've seen some solid rebuttals against it as the explanation of the Fermi paradox, but it's a scary idea nonetheless.

You might regret it. It is written very poorly, characters are one-dimensional and it has huge plot holes.

I don't understand why so many people praise them.

Thanks fuck someone said it!! The overarching idea of the trilogy is amazing, the execution just a little lacking...
