"The year is 2312. Scientific and technological advances have opened gateways to an extraordinary future. Earth is no longer humanity's only home; new habitats have been created throughout the solar system on moons, planets, and in between. But in this year, 2312, a sequence of events will force humanity to confront its past, its present, and its future. The first event takes place on Mercury, on the city of Terminator, itself a miracle of engineering on an unprecedented scale. It is an unexpected death, but one that might have been foreseen. For Swan Er Hong, it is an event that will change her life. Swan was once a woman who designed worlds. Now she will be led into a plot to destroy them"--

I enjoyed many of the concepts but it feels like it could have been shorter.
This was an extremely well done book. I admit KSR usually writes books that are a bit to slow, methodical, dense or obtuse for me. It took me a year to slog through Red Mars. So I am weary of most of his books but this one sounded too interesting to pass up and I was not disappointed.
Man did I try to enjoy this. The world building was exquisite but what's a world without a story or worthwhile characters?
KSR can write, but I just don't agree with with this concept of weighing detail over characters or plot.
