Dark forest was indeed mind bending to me. I’ve never thought of it like that and the novels just blew me away.

The dark forest hypothesis is the conjecture that many alien civilizations exist throughout the universe, but they are both silent and hostile, maintaining their undetectability for fear of being destroyed by another hostile and undetected civilization. Wikipedia
