Title: utterly immersive, reality-based sci-fi
Product review: Put simply, this is a thouroughly satisfying read for anyone who wonders what mankind's first interplanetary foray might _actually_ look like. Robinson's mastery of technology speculation is showcased on nearly every page, but he does not fall into the trap of sacrificing character development for plot acceleration. The personalities and conflict among the "First One Hundred" explorers help draw you in rather than distract you from rendering the stark beauty of a planet you've never seen up close
