Americans overreact to a misunderstanding and go on a genocidal warpath across the globe and are somehow winning except for a superweapon of peace.

It does its best, but it doesn’t do enough world building, character building, or anything really. While it isn’t a waste of time, I wouldn’t recommend it.

I missed a chapter timestamp.

The timing is estimated.

• 1:00 — Reading.

  • Nepali language

• 1:30 —

  • Robot
  • Artificial Intelligence
• 2:45 — Los Angeles

• 3:00 — The Republic of New Asia.

  • aka the Chinese

• 3:45 —

  • Ko Nang – New Asia – 2065
  • I believe “No Nang” is fictional. It seems Vietnamese, making this a nod to the Vietnam War. I guessed this even before the military moment.
• 9:00 — Why wouldn’t they gun her down? I guess she was running to the defenders?
• 10:00 — Of course that would happen. What would they think the scanning is for? Why were they fleeing to their doom?
• 10:30 — Five Years Later. (2070)
• 14:45 — I recognize that actor. That’s Gemma Chan, who I know from Humans – (2015 show)
• 16:30 — Neanderthal
• 24:30 — Why wouldn’t they have advance notice of their arrival? It’s not hard to detect insurgency with 2070 technology..

• 27:00 — Wouldn’t they have explosives?

  • 27:45 — Like those explosives, but, like, with them..
• 29:00 — If he’s the can-opening expert, he needs to stay there.
• 32:15 — How far could she go in 1.5 minutes?

• 34:30 — The Child

  • Oh, it’s one of these movies, with chapters and names.
• 38:30 — He does his job; roll credits.
• 39:15 — He picks up his gun, shoots them both; roll credits.
• 42:30 — John Wick appears.
• 45:00 — What’s a female?
• 46:30 — “Alpha” isn’t a name.

• 49:00 — Take the gear with you..

  • 51:30 — Oh, so they did take the gear.

• 50:45 — They’d be easy to shoot; roll credits.

  • Chase after them; roll credits.

The Friend

• 55:15
• 56:15 — go native
• 1:05:00 — Explain how they infiltrated the police of an enemy nation’s capitol.
• 1:05:30 — I’m still confused as to how the ring wasn’t detected as a tracker.
• 1:09:30 — So why was there a hologram there? I couldn’t tell in all the murk how that device got playing.

• 1:10:45 — So I assume the area was radioactive from the warhead?

The Mother

• 1:12:00
• 1:13:30 — Just talk with her on the phone?
• 1:18:45 — Why does he drink?
• 1:23:00 — How could a fucking battle tank sneak up on them?
• 1:23:45 — Why did he dive into the water instead of walking onto the pier?
• 1:24:45 — That remote explosive is precisely why I was confused about such a huge and slow target being front-line. Why wouldn’t it be back in siege support with the soldiers moving quickly on ATVs?
• 1:25:45 — Why would those things have such rough artificial intelligence?
• 1:26:15 — Why wouldn’t they grenade the bridge?
• 1:27:45 — Why wouldn’t the guy try to have some sort of cover?
• 1:28:30 — That’s not 100 metres.
• 1:31:15 — So about black people having children.. are you telling me that this is a scan of her unfertilized embryo, or is this a scan of her embryo fertilized with a sperm that is definitely not black?
• 1:32:45 — 1:32:45 — I figured this was somewhat Tibet-like in elements. This makes it China.
• 1:39:45 — Why wouldn’t they shoot him immediately?
• 1:43:00 — This is confusing. If they wanted to terminate the weapon, then why were they trying to capture it earlier? Did they get or do a thing with it and now they don’t want it active?
• 1:46:30 — Look music, this is not epic in the least.
• 1:47:00 — So why would people be able to just go up to the lunar base? You can’t even make a flight to a local place without reservation.

• 1:47:30 — So they make a call and ground it, right?

  • 1:47:45 — Why wouldn’t they do that right away?

• 1:48:30 — So it does have defences, right? Just shoot it down.

  • Even with civilians I would have shot it down. This is the extinction of the human race we’re talking about.
• 1:50:45 — Why wouldn’t they have launched a long time ago? I get they might have been worried about civilian casualties, but that should be said.
• 2:00:00 — So why would missiles need a connection? Is that a thing?
• 2:03:15 — Then traditional nukes drop..

• 2:04:15 — That’s a female.

This ending stretch was so confusing and bad.
