This book suffers from the fact that discussing almost any aspect of the book would be a spoiler. It is very good, though I do wish it were more character driven. The sequel in the trilogy, the Dark Forest, more than makes up for any shortcomings in this book however.

One of the most awe inspiring and fear inducing novels I've ever read. It has changed the way I view extra-terrestrial science fiction on principle.
Currently really enjoying this book. It's interesting because so far it's not as much a critique of Capitalism as it is an absolute thrashing of corporations and free trade. My only nit pick would be that it seems to be somewhat Christian themed - there are frequent (one or two every section) references to Moses, Jesus, the Ten Commandments, etc. It's unclear if that's the author's bias, a callout of hypocrisy, or an appeal to the audience. Some may find that more abbrasive than others, but it's still pretty good
