This book reads like a 1950's sci-fi "Rocketship to Planet X" type story, without the camp irony. The best part of the novel is the first line. After that it quickly becomes a collection of virtue signals and lazy character development (cf another comment about a main character resembling NdGT). I read further to see if anything improves but I have to agree with most of the other negative comments: I stopped at pg 200. Regarding the positive comments others have made, "The Three-body Problem" by Cixin Liu deals with the same topic (end of humanity) and is more thoughtful, engaging and well-written by far.
