Seveneves

by Neal Stephenson

If I had to compare Sveneves to something I would choose the amazing movie Doom starring The Rock and Karl Urban.

Both start with a very long introduction, drop the title, get into action, and are over in a flash.

I listened to this book in several long sittings, the story and explanation is very catching. However, I find the amount of inventory detail and the amount of characters overwhelming.

I would love to read the same story from the viewpoint of pingers and diggers. Though I did enjoy the fact that Stevenson did not reveal everything and left the reader to fill in their own ideas. A second book would probably ruin it all.
