A solid satire — the critique was accurate, but the story itself wasn't that creative. Other Liu's works and the beginning of this story (the ant medicine!!) gave me high expectations, but unfortunately the level of creativity didn't stay that way. The world of ants and dinosaurs was nearly identical to our human one, which made the satire blatantly obvious and boring to read as there was nothing new or original to read about.
