Ha ha - I just read Seveneves, the Probst character was quite funny. While I've enjoyed Stephenson's novels in the past, I don't think Seveneves is his best. It's a little bit formulaic, far fetched and plodding. I preferred Reamde. It's the only thing I've ever read that gave me an insight into the mindset of the mid-west gun loving conservative that seems to maintain the status quo of gun law in the US.
