I'm not sure about this one. The 'main characters' in the setting are a few multi-billionaires very transparently based on real life ones, but they are farther along in their space travel ventures than the real ones. The main character of the story is a bit better drawn, but it feels like the story is more of a travelogue/cool ideas showcase than a real heavy plotting story. I wasn't as interested in the plot as I was in finding out the hard science details of the tech projects. Oh and I'm not sure about the moon monks yet, the writing in those sections was very different and I don't think I liked it as much.
