It's funny you posted this @jameshsmitharts. I was just talking about Seveneves with my son, who graduated with an English Literature teaching degree. We were talking about "flash fiction" a term he used for a story with only so many words. It seems one of his professors was a fan of this genre, as well as all things having to do with "space elevators" Which reminded me of Seveneves. Then we got into a long discussion about Neal and I learned that he attended Iowa State University, in Ames, just 60 miles away from where I live.

Anyhow, back to your post. I enjoyed seeing the thought process you used in completing it. How much time would you say you spent on the whole project?

Are you aware a movie is in the works?

Thanks for sharing.
