New Moon by Ian McDonald
5.0

An amazing piece of SF. It's got the sciencey complexity of something like Seveneves, plus the political, factional complexity of Ada Palmer's Terra Incognito books, but with both of those aspects dialled down so they're less in your face but somehow still fully featured and convincing... it's very deftly done. (I like that stuff to be in your face and I don't mind if it leads to excesses, but I can admire this approach, too.) It's also a business thriller! Set on the moon, if you can believe that.
