I saw other reviews of this 880-page monster from people I trusted, but with a busy summer I didn’t get around to reading this before now. That moment happened to me so often in Neal Stephenson’s “Seveneves” that I was starting to worry I had a problem. One of my favorite moments is when a science fiction book has immersed you so completely in that world that when you look up from it, you’re startled to see that the world you’re actually in is still…well, exactly what it was when you started reading. Audio read by Mary Robinette Kowal, Will Damron, 32 hours. As he did in Anathem, Cryptonomicon, the Baroque Cycle, and Reamde, Stephenson explores some of our biggest ideas and perplexing challenges in a breathtaking saga that is daring, engrossing, and altogether brilliant.“Seveneves,” Neal Stephenson.
