From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Reamde, and Cryptonomicon comes an exciting and thought-provoking science fiction epic—a grand story of annihilation and survival spanning five thousand years.
What would happen if the world were ending?
A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb. In a feverish race against the inevitable, nations around the globe band together to devise an ambitious plan to ensure the survival of humanity far beyond our atmosphere, in outer space.
But the complexities and unpredictability of human nature coupled with unforeseen challenges and dangers threaten the intrepid pioneers, until only a handful of survivors remain . . .
Five thousand years later, their progeny—seven distinct races now three billion strong—embark on yet another audacious journey into the unknown . . . to an alien world utterly transformed by cataclysm and time: Earth.
A writer of dazzling genius and imaginative vision, Neal Stephenson combines science, philosophy, technology, psychology, and literature in a magnificent work of speculative fiction that offers a portrait of a future that is both extraordinary and eerily recognizable. 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.

Neal Town Stephenson (born October 31, 1959) is an American writer, known for his speculative fiction works, which have been variously categorized science fiction, historical fiction, maximalism, cyberpunk, and postcyberpunk. Stephenson explores areas such as mathematics, cryptography, philosophy, currency, and the history of science. He also writes non-fiction articles about technology in publications such as Wired Magazine, and has worked part-time as an advisor for Blue Origin, a company (funded by Jeff Bezos) developing a manned sub-orbital launch system.
Born in Fort Meade, Maryland (home of the NSA and the National Cryptologic Museum) Stephenson came from a family comprising engineers and hard scientists he dubs "propeller heads". His father is a professor of electrical engineering whose father was a physics professor; his mother worked in a biochemistry laboratory, while her father was a biochemistry professor. Stephenson's family moved to Champaign-Urbana, Illinois in 1960 and then to Ames, Iowa in 1966 where he graduated from Ames High School in 1977. Stephenson furthered his studies at Boston University. He first specialized in physics, then switched to geography after he found that it would allow him to spend more time on the university mainframe. He graduated in 1981 with a B.A. in Geography and a minor in physics. Since 1984, Stephenson has lived mostly in the Pacific Northwest and currently resides in Seattle with his family.
Neal Stephenson is the author of the three-volume historical epic "The Baroque Cycle" (Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System of the World) and the novels Cryptonomicon, The Diamond Age, Snow Crash, and Zodiac. He lives in Seattle, Washington.

看完了，很多细节描写非常美，比方cradle。科幻机械情节设定也非常独出心裁。但是我好像无法接受宇航人类会那么和平民主。存活下来的人类社会更像digger的可能性更大。／／刚看到33%。好看，有一点点三体的设定，加上火星救援似的硬科幻和细节描写。。。原书里有没有图纸什么的啊！好多空间站的描述读的痛苦死了，就不能画张图吗？！

点子很好，前2/3也很硬，但是可读性比较差，太多没用必要的描写了，逼得我硬生生学会了英文略读

细节有些啰嗦得过头了，忽略就好。整个故事还是很精彩的。

史诗级。Dhina见证的那些英雄们一个个死去的情节，让我流泪不止。Ymir的六人壮举，Sean孤独的死撑到最后，Markus的神勇，日本核专家献身。。。就连Dhina的第一任男朋友对忍耐号的改造和自杀。。。都哭红眼了。。。为什么写死他们啊？他们的基因多好啊，可惜了。。。五千年后的那节情节不重要（想睡Beled），主要是看个作者对人类的力量抱有的笃定和情怀了。看的是英文版，长篇累牍的细节把想象力榨干... 史诗级。Dhina见证的那些英雄们一个个死去的情节，让我流泪不止。Ymir的六人壮举，Sean孤独的死撑到最后，Markus的神勇，日本核专家献身。。。就连Dhina的第一任男朋友对忍耐号的改造和自杀。。。都哭红眼了。。。为什么写死他们啊？他们的基因多好啊，可惜了。。。五千年后的那节情节不重要（想睡Beled），主要是看个作者对人类的力量抱有的笃定和情怀了。看的是英文版，长篇累牍的细节把想象力榨干了。 (展开)
