I found the first half of Seveneves so unpleasant and uncomfortable to read. What was the point of this slog through the most awful, terrible events, just to see literally everyone suffer a nightmarish, horrifying death? I mostly like Stephenson books, but he seems to have a thing for just imagining people going through awful experiences.

I mostly liked it because I'm a huge sci fi nerd and that level of hard sci fi is pretty rare.
