Seveneves

Many people have told me to read books by Stephenson, but I never had. My co-worker was reading this one so I took it as my introductory work. I was not disappointed. I really loved the characters in the first two parts and just how believable their reactions to the catastrophe were, even right up to the end, where laws were not so important anymore. The part where the people on the surface were killed was just stunning. I appreciate the grandiose future that he portrayed in the third part, but I did not find it as gripping as the other parts. I thought that in many ways more would have changed in 5000 years, language would have diverged further, more of the “epic” would have been forgotten due to loss of recordings or ability to read them.
