I enjoy Baxter's SciFi even though so far, the few stories I've read have been depressing. Ring would appear to be the height of that trend, so I'm looking forward to reading other less depressing books of his. He certainly seems to be a fan of the old saying "If you want to make G-d laugh, tell him your plans.". Sure, the book is about the heat death of the universe, but that's not the most depressing part of it. I feel sorry for the characters because none of their plans ever come to fruition. They are at the mercy of forces much larger than themselves (including human arrogance) and they suffer because of it.
It sounds odd, but I enjoyed it despite finding it to be depressing.
