I would bet almost anything that Elon Musk read this book when it came out in 2000 and decided he would dedicate his life to becoming the main character of this book in real life.
Honestly one of the worst books I've ever read. Made all the more frustrating because the central sci-fi idea is actually pretty cool and it goes somewhere that would have been interesting in perhaps a short story but not drawn out into this overwrought mess.
Chris Nolan probably read this and wrote Interstellar, and I mean that as disparagingly as possible. At least Interstellar actually has characters you come to care about and an emotional core that this book spectacularly lacks.
