Peter Watts All Books Editorial Review
Firefall, 1: Blindsight is a gripping and unputdownable novel for readers who enjoy a science-fiction novel with a sciency touch and an alien twist. It presents the readers with a "first contact" mystery where they gradually discover the intricacies of the aliens alongside the characters. The novel appeals to cognitive psychology enthusiasts with its references and science-based extrapolations. Furthermore, it's a novel that challenges the human condition, where the future depicted is vividly detailed. The ending of the novel changes readers' perspectives, making it hard to put the book down.
