Neal Stephenson is the bestselling author of the novels Reamde, Anathem, The System of the World, The Confusion, Quicksilver, Cryptonomicon, The Diamond Age, Snow Crash, and Zodiac, and the groundbreaking nonfiction work In the Beginning . . . Was the Command Line. He lives in Seattle, Washington.
"Stephenson's storytelling style combines the conversational and
the panoramic, allowing him to turn his piercing gaze on the
familiar aspects of a strange future, encompassing the barely
conceivable detail by detail."--Seattle Times
"Stephenson's remarkable novel is deceptively complex, a disaster
story and transhumanism tale that serves as the delivery mechanism
for a series of technical and sociological visions... there's a ton
to digest, but Stephenson's lucid prose makes it worth the
while."--Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
"Seveneves can be fascinating. . . . Insights into the human
character shine like occasional full moons."--Boston
Globe
"Seveneves offers at once [Stephenson's] most conventional
science-fiction scenario and a superb exploration of his abiding
fascination with systems, philosophies and the limits of
technology.... Stephenson's central characters, mostly women, serve
as a welcome corrective to science-fiction cliches."--Chicago
Tribune
"[A] novel of big ideas, but it's also a novel of personalities, of
heart, and of a particular kind of hope that only comes from a
Stephenson story. Science fiction fans everywhere will love this
book."--BookPage
"No slim fables or nerdy novellas for Stephenson: his visions are
epic, and he requires whole worlds-and, in this case, solar
systems-to accommodate them....Wise, witty, utterly well-crafted
science fiction."--Kirkus Reviews
"The huge scope and enormous depth of the latest novel from
Stephenson is impressive... a major work of hard sf that all fans
of the genre should read."--Library Journal (starred
review)
"Well-paced over three parts covering 5,000 years of humanity's
future, Stephenson's monster of a book is likely to dominate your
2015 sf-reading experience."--Booklist
"Written in a wry, erudite voice...Seveneves will please
fans of hard science fiction, but this witty, epic tale is also
sure to win over readers new to Stephenson's work."--Washington
Post
