I’ve been curious about the book because i saw some people talking about it, another urge after the netflix show, so went to check a little the book.

I haven’t read much about chinese revolution, so i became intrigued, the cultural revolution was really like that or it was exaggerated?

i sometimes watch a guy that lives on china, he says the current standing of the people today is that thr cr was a mistake because it destroyed many historical artifacts.

well, the post became more about the cultural revolution than the scifi piece itself.

    If it doesn’t factor that much into the book, what purpose does it even serve to be there? Sure you say it’s ‘narrative backstory’; but then, so would be a thousand other historical events which happened prior to the start of the story. It must be more than that, else there’s no reason to spend so much time and detail on it in the first place.
