(I see the SDMB’s thread on _Seveneves_ happened a year before I got here, so I didn’t get to share my fresh hate like with _Dodge_.)

> Didn’t see anything on this upcoming book. Has anyone else read the preview? Synopsis: some mysterious for destroys the moon. Humanity must send out colonizers to save the race. Last two thirds of book skips forward 5000 years and we see the three distinct species that have descended from us as they plan to return to Earth. I expect lots of monologues on dense technical subjects and possibly an enigmatic wanderer named Enoch.
