I have read some sci-fi, but not enough to confidently tell you that I understood everything that was going on in this story. Regardless, I found myself enjoying the story and its characters. With my husband's help, I was able to recognize references from Star Trek (he's a Trekkie, through and through), but I am sure there are many more in there that I did not have the knowledge to catch.
Although I found the story to be very entertaining, I did have difficulty keeping up with the different names and technical aspects in the story. This is not new territory for me, however. I tend to have this problem with fantasy and sci-fi stories. So, just a heads up if that happens to you too. Also, as a character-driven reader, I wish that I could have read more that is focused on certain indivdiuals, but again - that is totally a personal preference.
All in all, I believe Deus Tex Machina would be a fantastic read for those who love their sci-fi stories to be more on the lighter side (e.g. humor) while still maintaining its complexity. It was quite a ride, and I think it will check the boxes of many fiction-readers!
