Huh...?

4 Sterne

That pretty much sums it up. This book is basically two stories. The first part revolves around nerdy orbital dynamics descriptions with a sprinkle of politics and psychology. It makes sense and is mildly interesting but a bit much. The background research is, as usual for Neil Stephenson, quite impressive. The sorry elements is not the main part of this book. There are a few surprises in the beginning and end of each part. But most of the book is rather straight forward.

All-in-all Seveneves is an interesting series of what-ifs and an elaborate exploration of what these ifs could lead to.

It's a fairly slow paced presentation of a long series of events with a couple of sudden twists at the end of each part. This presents a sudden moment of "huh...?" at those points.
