Really excellent book. Detail is intense, as expected and definitely what I wanted. Pacing threw me for a loop, the emotional high really hits in the middle, but, when I better understood the trajectory, and arguments Robinson was trying to make, that helped quite a bit. As a whole I really liked it.

Solid. A bit too tightly focused on specific characters by the end, when it would have been nice for more world building, which is the focus in the first half.

Muito interessante e escrito quase em forma de fábula. Custa-me a compreender a pontuação baixa que tem neste site. Talvez se deva ao seu ritmo mais lento e meditativo, não contendo grande acção, apenas comunidades humanas a resolver problemas incomportáveis.
Um bom exemplo de que ficção científica não tem necessariamente que ser "literatura de cordel".

I really enjoyed most of this book; I found the characters to be compelling and understandable, the writing engaging, and the science believable. The only thing holding it back from 5 stars is that the last 10% needed some editing. But I genuinely enjoyed this book.
