This book starts out like David Weber, continued as written by Rod Serling, and ends with the epic scope of John C. Wright.

If you want world-bending, rule-breaking science fiction that explores great new ideas and explores philosophical insights about humanity, the way classical SF used to be, then you better get your hands on the complete works of John C. Wright. But make danged certain to get Richard Paolinelli in the same shopping trip, because he will do the exact same thing... usually, using fewer twenty-dollar words. Escaping Infinity was my introduction to the man who I would easily put in the top 5 science fiction authors of today. And for the record, no, this is NOT the author who wrote Eragon, that's Christopher Paolini. Original review here: https://upstreamreviews.substack.com/p/ei-paolinelli
