The ruin of cislunar space spurs one habitat to flee, carrying the most valuable resources humanity has ever created. The struggles to control space resources and a juggernaut of new technical advances accelerate geometrically. Mind-blowing advances build upon each other, demanding speed and intelligence. With entire planets in conflict, the long-term potential of civilization’s advance becomes clear. Those who prevail may achieve functional immortality and undreamed of power over reality.
I read this in print three times now. I've not yet listened to the audio recording. However I love to take it slow during some of the interesting parts. I keep the discovery of new tidbits, which is the Hallmark of a masterpiece. I definitely recommend to read this book first. The first two are hard reads, lots of great stuff, can we mine for entrepreneurial ideas, but painful to wait for each pearl of wisdom. Infinity delivers all the way through on many levels. A really great book to read again and again.
