In the trilogy, Liu Cixin's story navigates a conceptual framing of space as an unknown and therefore hostile domain. Any alien species that humans would encounter would be so far advanced beyond Earth's civilization that it/they would surely seek our annihilation .

Inspired by this, Kickstarter founder wrote a blog piece titled "The Dark Forest of the Internet" which levied a critique of Web2 ad-bloat. And advocated for uninstalling the apps, getting off the feed .

Then can the "Cozy Web" by Venkatesh Rao, and eventually all these feeds joined together into Caroline Busta's new model for the internet 2.5, people leaving clear-net in search of private, gated, more high fidelity social experiences online.
