Tickling me as engineer. Engineer is balancing between science, economy and social. This novel unfortunately simplify those matters. Especially impact between science advancement on economy and social seems linear, maybe this is called plot armor for the story it self? Well, it's a fantasy or fiction, it have a lot of weakness, but for me the fun when reading this novel is the most determining factor I keep waiting for next chapter.
