The seveneves5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() In present-day Utah, an amateur astronomer notices a dusty blur near the Moon's equator, and is thrilled to blog about it on his phone. The project is designed also to engage those left behind, and prevent worldwide chaos. ![]() ![]() The brain-trust is tasked by leaders to engineer a self-sustaining environment capable of maneuvering away from larger fragments, and withstanding 5,000 years in near-earth orbit until the planet is stable enough to be terraformed into supporting life. The International Space Station, fitted with "arklets," populated with 1,500 people and the Human Genetic Archive, is the foundation around which the Cloud Ark will be constructed. Astronomers estimate only two years remain before debris enters and burns away Earth's atmosphere, surface, oceans, and all life. Seveneves is a speculative novel dramatizing humankind's effort to survive following the Moon's explosive fragmentation by some inexplicable agent. ![]()
