Maxim reviewed Seveneves by Neal Stephenson

Grim dystopia

5 stars

The first half is a detailed description of main characters dying gruesome deaths - it takes some effort to detach emotionally from them. The second half is an unsettling eugenics program - at least they did better than Dune's Bene Gesserit.
