Well then, you should give it an Oppose as soon as possible.

I would read all that Sufficiently Advanced business if it was supposed to be good or at least innovative. Is it either of those things?

I dunno.

I've only played it with one GM, and AFAICT, that GM is the kind of GM who can make anything awesome, so while I certainly enjoyed it, I have no particular reason to believe that constitutes a representative sample for your games.

Reading the book was fun even on my own, though, so I think you should do that.

What is an Oppose?

It's Eclipse Phase before Eclipse Phase existed, and its timeline better accepts the cultural drift.
