I'm going to vehemently agree here, the books were incredibly over rated and presented as some sort of ascendant Chinese modern POV about a potential future.

The entire book feels like a cobbling of Cixin's fanciful "what if?", vaguely scifi moments (like the oft-cited wire cutting ship) hastily glued together with the most unrelatable and frankly forgettable characters I've ever read.

Go grab some Neal Stephenson, Dan Simmons, or Philip Dick.

A small but crucial detail that sets Apple apart from almost everyone else in both digital and physical design is the use of curvature continuity.

"Posers" use G1 continuity, Apple uses G2 at a minimum if not G3. More complex math but smoother corners and surfaces. There's actually no 'radii' on Apple products.
