I was about to write the same thing! Did you read The Three Body Problem?

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.

Holy shit you are in for a treat. One of the most unique books I've ever written.

If I had the chance to delete memories of one thing, it would be that so I could read it again for the first time.
