A novel about a species with diabolical intent that may destroy the fabric of the universe is hard science fiction? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.162.1.86 (talk • contribs)
Surprisingly, yes. "Hard" is difficult to quantify sometimes. DS (talk) 15:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It would depend on the story itself and how it is told, not some lame summary you made up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.5.185.254 (talk) 18:36, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Meh, it's not like I'm the one who wrote the summary. DS (talk) 18:41, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if I'd go as far as saying "destroy the fabric of the universe." That would probably be more applicable to Greg Egan's Schild's Ladder. In the book, the Hive was simply replicating itself and destroying "emerging civilizations" in the process - i.e. ones that had learned/figured-out-by-dumb-luck how to make energy densities high enough to make wormholes. Destroy the fabric of the Earth and everything that dwelt here, yes.. Jimw338 (talk) 17:21, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
