Seveneves

Seveneves tells the story of an apocalyptic event where the Moon suddenly breaks apart without warning, leading to a catastrophic 'Hard Rain' of moon fragments that will render Earth uninhabitable for thousands of years.

The novel follows the global efforts to save humanity by evacuating people to a swarm of 'arklet' habitats in orbit.

The story is divided into three parts, covering the immediate aftermath, the long-term survival in space, and the eventual re-colonization of Earth five thousand years later.

The book delves into themes of science, technology, genetics, and the long-term implications of human survival and societal rebuilding.
