Glorious (Heaven's Bowl 3) by Gregory Benford & Larry Niven (2020)


By the time I finished this third and final book, I overcame my revulsion to Benford's inscrutable and bizarre space aliens and enjoyed this finale, especially the ending. The number of mind-blowing revelations per second reached a crescendo; Niven's optimistic humanism was evident. 4/5 Stars.  I hope David Brin makes good on his threat to write more about the implications of engineering at immense scales (ringworlds, bowl worlds, twin-planets webs, Dyson spheres, etc.).
