Interesting premise on a very high level - follows an alien civilization "booting up" from scratch, intertwined with the shenanigans of a rebooted spacefaring human civilization. Enjoyed the idea of the "classicist". Severe lack of technical bits and pieces, making it overall a quite "soft" sci-fi. A little too long, could probably be compressed by 5X of more. The attempt at world building is valiant, but ultimately quite shallow and not very believable. 2/5
