Spin by Robert Charles Wilson

I'm reading Spin, the second book Tor gave me as part of their recent promotion, and I keep saying "Holy shit!" (Which is a pretty gross expression that I should stop using.)

My most recent stop, swear and stare at the page was in reaction to page 167. If you've read it and are curious you can look it up. I'm guessing there are still quite a few shocks and surprises coming my way.

It's a fascinating book, if somewhat dispassionate. Maybe you have to be dispassionate when you're talking about such huge topics, to keep from getting overwhelmed.
