Oh, yeah. As amazing as the Baroque Cycle Movie or series could be, or Cryptonomicon, or Diamond Age, etc... I'd vote for Seveneves over everything else.

There was supposed to be a Ron Howard directed version of Seveneves but I think it's been on hold for a few years.
Seveneves has been in my reading queue for quite awhile... I think I might go ahead and move it to the top of the stack. Thanks for posting this!
One of the best books I've read in years. If you have any space-geek in you, you won't regret it.
To be honest, I found it long and depressing. It must be something about this theme of the demise of society and space exploration that gets me. Same with Baxter's NASA trilogy. His early novels, like Snowcrash and Diamond age, are amazing, but Seveneves is really quite a different kind of a story.
Oh I’m full on space geek! I’ll start ASAP
