2025 December - In Ascension - Martin MacInnes

 Published 2023. Supposed to be about 30 years in the future. It starts with Underwater exploration and moves on to the need to travel in space using a propulsion technology given by unknowns to earth. 

It's good, the space travel is reminiscent of Foundation by Asimov(1951).

Some anomalies to me are on page 209 there is a 19 digit number repeated, but what number base is this number? And why 3042 repeats? 

Page 309, at the start of chapter 11 "The Power does no Exist". But neither does Electricity or Magnetism. You can't hold them in your hand or see them.   And a joke about a cat refers to Schrodingers Cat, unknown to many.

Page 323 The dimensions are in Imperial feet and inches, but on page 340 the distances are metric.
