Neal Stephenson's latest novel, Seveneves, starts with essentially this premise, but with debris of the Moon.
- masklinn 11y agoThe Planetes manga starts with space debris and the risk thereof, but terrorists outright attempting to trigger a Kessler event is a big subplot
- mfoy_ 11y agoThere's an anime adaptation that's very well done. It explored the ideas of debris in space and clean-up efforts surrounding it pretty neatly.
- shpx 11y agoPlanetes is my favourite anime, though granted I haven't watched many. I'm not sure if the logistics make sense though, I haven't done the math but I would imagine that the amount of fuel needed to change orbits would either be prohibitively expensive or you would spend months before returning to the base station.
- shostack 11y agoI loved the anime. Very much a "slice of life" in the future that was wonderfully art directed.
- Terr_ 11y agoReminds me of the "Cowboy Bebop" universe, in which a large portion of the moon was shattered during an early test of hyperspace-gate technology.
