About this listen

A mysterious object threatens to destroy our solar system. The survival of humankind is at risk, but nobody takes the warning of young astrophysicist Maribel Pedreira seriously. At the same time, an exiled crew of outcasts mines for rare minerals on a lone asteroid.   

When other scientists finally acknowledge Pedreira's alarming discovery, it becomes clear that these outcasts are the only ones who may be able to save our world, knowing that the Hole hurtles inexorably toward the sun.

Good listen. Fast moving and interesting story progression. Nice explanation of Hologram theory. . . .

A hard Sci-fi with great characters

The central idea of the book is very thought-provoking on 2 fronts: what would we do if such an event actually occurred and how realistic would a sentient AI become. The story is short and to the point, skipping over lots of details that you would find in novels. This along with excellent narration makes this a very good read for fans of Hard Science Fiction.

A very fun thought experiment put to word
