出自科幻大师 Alan Dean Foster 的丰富想象，《中世界》讲述了一个 Humanx 联邦星球的故事，这个星球同样脆弱而充满敌意。中世界被茂密的热带雨林覆盖，居住着一个与自然世界和谐相处的原始社会。但一家剥削性的人类公司到来，其工人对中世界脆弱的生态系统一无所知，由此引发了一场冲突。中世界的村民应该帮助人类还是反抗他们？Foster 这部令人上瘾的翻页之作的主人公 Born 决定带领两个人类穿越危险的丛林。他的选择推动 Mi……

……科幻作品，也不是把其中大部分联系起来的 Humanx Commonwealth 设定。这真可惜——那里有那么多优秀的书，介于作者相当狂野的想象力和将其付诸文字的天赋之间。《Midworld》和《Sentenced to Prism》是两个特别突出的例子。

……就像他把几本 Alan Dean Foster 的书和一本 Iain M Banks 的《Culture》小说揉在了一起。故事的关键部分发生在一个遍布巨树的星球森林上，那里有一种类似盖亚的意识（《Midworld》），它的麦高芬是一个威胁银河的超级武器（《The Tar-Aiym Krang》），还有一个重要角色是一个用场来操纵事物的智慧老浮动机器人/人工智能（《Culture》无人机）。这让人想起……
…like he mashed together a couple of Alan Dean Foster books with an Iain M Banks Culture novel. A key part of the story takes place on a planet-wide forest with giant trees and a Gaia-like sentience (Midworld), its maguffin is a galaxy-threatening superweapon (The Tar-Aiym Krang), and a significant character is a wise old floating robot/AI that uses fields to manipulate things (Culture drones).
