I "read" this book as an audio book loaned from my library.
I was stunned by how much research must have gone into it.
The scope of it was breathtaking. It wasn't just about the getting there and setting up a base. No, it went on to city building, immigration issues, corporate shenanigans, political power plays, environmental issues and incredible infrastructure construction.
It felt so real.
Do not let the fact that it was published in 1992 make you think it's out of date. It is not. Everything discussed here is still fresh and relevant.
A must read for sure.
It felt like a privilege to spend so much time with a superior mind.
