Based on reading that the moon "blows up" in the first pages of the books, I figured that this was going to be weird Neal Stephenson instead of science Neal Stephenson. A friend convinced me to give it a try, and I was wrong. It's no spoiler to say that the moon is "fractured" more than it blows up, and this serves as the pretext for Stephenson to lay out his blueprints for stupendous engineering feat after feat. I found that parts of the book lagged, and Stephenson was occasionally difficult to follow: I had similar problems with Cryptonomicon but they were much smaller in Seveneves. If you liked this, then of course you'll enjoy Andy Weir. And you might enjoy Daniel Suarez as well.
