- JoachimS 11y agoThe opinion about Seveneves varies quite a lot. I found it to be really bad and a great disappointment, and I am a huge Stephenson fan. Anathem being one of the best reads of my life. Seveneves is far from being a new Anathem.
- cicero 11y agoI like Anathem better, but Seveneves is interesting and worth my while.
- akkartik 11y agoEspecially compared to Reamde. Now there was a turd.
- hypersoar 11y agoI definitely liked it the least of all the Stephenson I've read. He spends lots of time talking about pykrete and bolides and orbital mechanics and robot swarms and space habitats, and in the end it doesn't feel like he spends very much time talking about people.
