I think that you might have understood why they were using that tree if you were more invested, but maybe this really isn't your cup of tea. From that, I suspect you might not like Gravity either. It's very similar in how it has very minimal exposition and gets straight into the action. (The difference is, Gravity came out of nowhere near the end with the whole "faith" moral. I didn't really care for that.)

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
