So the moon blows up. Only a few people have the audacity to put that big of an event in the first sentence of a book, one of those people is Neal Stephenson. He has a way to telling the story that grips you from the very few pages.
Seveneves is a landmark achievement in sci-fi genre. And this is not the first time for Neal Stephenson.
When the moon blows up the humanity is on the brink of an extinction, and they must do anything to save the human race. One idea is to create a space station and bring as many diverse set-of people as they can.
In all of this there are politics of who should go to the station and what is the criteria for choosing the people. But humanity shows the strength and unity that was required to tackle this moral dilemma.
Seveneves is a space opera with both the premises of dystopia as well as utopia. Anyone who likes space opera will love this work of art.
The technologies as always have been explained in very detail for which Neal Stephenson is famous for. There is also one plot twist at the end which I’ll not discuss here. You’ll have to read the book for it.
