Reception
Spider Robinson dismissed the novel, saying "there just ain't all that much right with it. . . . It's a shame writers have to do this stuff to stay alive."[2]
gollark: That's not some sort of universal truth, just a rough heuristic which is somewhat accurate.
gollark: I mean, those apply to some narrowly defined things in physics, for limited definitions of "action" and such, but not in general so far as I can tell.
gollark: I don't think so, unless you really stretch the definition most of the time or claim it's metaphorical or something.
gollark: Like "colourless green ideas sleep furiously" and such.
gollark: It's just that stuff like "thought isnt action. so things that started as thought are just concepts in action, the action is still the same action as all other actions, push and pull." and "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" don't seem like... semantically meaningful sentences. I mean, they're... valid sentences, but don't look like they're actually conveying any true useful information.
