I wish that book had a better ending.
- idbehold 9y agoWhich book is that?
- fitzroy 9y agoSeveneves
- vanilla_nut 9y agoSeveneves, if I'm reading the OP correctly. By Neal Stephenson.
- pilsetnieks 9y agoAnathem, Neal Stephenson. (Seveneves also mentions plane change maneuvers but Anathem has this quote repeated verbatim several times and is closer to the topic at hand. Then again, more people seem to be disappointed with Seveneves' ending, so who knows.)
- hprotagonist 9y agoI meant to suggest Anathem.
- grkvlt 9y agoAnathem
- mirimir 9y agoOverall, it's quite a positive ending. I wonder whether someone dared him to write something dystopian, but with an upbeat ending.
- XR0CSWV3h3kZWg 9y agoI wish that book didn't have a part three.
- hprotagonist 9y agoMe, too. My background is biomedical, so i spent most of it thinking "epigenetics doesn't work like that!"
- XR0CSWV3h3kZWg 9y agoAs a layperson I felt like the time frame in which they were suggesting this extreme genetic shift would happen seemed a little much. The pace of the book was also completely different.
