The Expanse is a pretty reasonable near-future yarn, but it's exodus presumes some terraforming, radiation shielding, centuries of sacrifice

Also the lack of robots in the series makes it rather implausible.
-
true that. Stephenson's swarms of quasi-contemporary worker bots in Seveneves (and a lot of other fiction) is more plausible

Yeh Seveneves was the best space scifi I've read in years.

btw, pretty solid mil scifi trilogy this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17605440-the-red … and Stross' Saturn's Children is The Expanse's flipside

I'll check it out. Right now I'm finishing off the rather disturbing "The Water Knife" by Paolo Bacigalupi https://www.amazon.com/Water-Knife-Paolo-Bacigalupi/dp/080417153X …

oh man, Bacigalupi's books are so realistically dystopic they're hard for me to read, I keep intending to get to them all
