Corona by Greg Bear
4.0
Haven't read this book for probably 25 years, but BY GOD I read it many times in my teen years. It was one of those gateway books to science fiction for me, back when I was, well, going through puberty. I think it's downstairs.
Greg Bear introduced himself to me at a Clarion West fundraiser a few weeks back (Headlined by NEIL FRELLING GAIMAN) and we had a great chat about science fiction, science fiction fandom, and being part of the world non-science fiction world. I mentioned that I got into science fiction through Star Trek fan fiction. He brought up this book. And it hit me hard that I remembered it. Maybe not as much as I remember Vonda McIntyre's "The Entropy Effect," but man, it was a gateway to a new and better world. And I am frelling grateful.
