Sonny Bunch was hoping for a sequel to Seveneves, that's what I was responding to. My disappointment with that book's ending was something I could feel in my viscera.

Goo-goo about high finance has no appeal to me. I lived through the dotcoms and the condescending financial types I met revolted me. "What's the 'Periodic Table'?"
But hope springs eternal. It's hard to believe that someone who did work as fine as Snow and Diamond will never have another great book in him, so I bought the new one. But if it's another look-at-me letdown, it's the end.
