The idea isn't original to Stephenson, but he did the research and connected ancient mythology to technology in a very well written fiction form.

Neal Stephenson will retire as one of the most important pillars of sci-fi. Seveneves was maybe an 8/10 and felt like his weakest novel to date. Anathem, Snow Crash, and Cryptonomicon are a cut above anything else written in the postcyberpunk era
