So, Neal Stephenson’s Seveneves is three bucks on Kindle…

…until midnight tonight (I think). I picked it up, and it’s, well, different. It’s good, but it’s different. Short version: moon explodes, slo-mo end of life on Earth, desperate attempt to get viable human breeding population in space, and so forth. Good stuff, with very little ‘get tens of thousands of people up there’ romanticism – but it’s, well, different.

I keep using that word, I know.  I’m trying to find a better one, I swear. Anyway, I’ve been reading all day, so there’s that.
