REIGN Book Talks – We highlight our book reads and share what made us fans of the story. (aka spoiler cliffnotes)

In Seveneves, Stephenson addresses how to keep a planet calm when the end is near (he alludes to lots of couplings), he immerses us in the technical challenges of space flight (orbital mechanics are geeky cool), and he creates major conflict as well as haunting scenes of daring and loss.

Spoilers ahead.
