Supernova Era by Cixin Liu
4.0
3.5 stars
What happens when everyone over the age of 13 dies within a year after a supernova hits leaving children in charge of everything. The first part of the book focuses on the adults teaching the children how to work everything and detonating all the nuclear warheads in space, which turns out to be a good thing because children are tiny sociopaths.
The children go through many different "era's" as they adjust to their new world and what they think the world should become now that the adults are gone. A few are mature from the start but most are not and it's interesting to see what happens when you have to bow to the majority opinion of toddlers that think all things should be fun. Also the level of violence that occurs because live munitions are more fun is staggering. This was a really interesting story.
