@michael_nielsen have you read 2312 or the red Mars trilogy? Aurora is an incredible piece in so many levels for KSR to write after those.

@scheidegger s/book/books/. Though there was a notable drop in quality. Red Mars is one of the best books I've ever read. -
@michael_nielsen yes, agreed. If green/blue Mars is below your threshold, you probably want to skip 2312. Just as slow, and yet weirder. - 2 more replies

@michael_nielsen great - there's so much more to Aurora when compared to the Mars trilogy and 2312 -
@scheidegger Good grief. I'm only like 20% of the way through. Sounds like I have a lot to look forward to. - 1 more reply
