What people on Hacker News said
Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson is my favorite sci-fi book I've read in a while. Generation ships, AI, and a fascinating narrative perspective. I'm a sucker for realistic/hard scifi with well-researched technical explanations, and KSR is among the best.
Is it really so wise and ethical to launch a mission to another star system? With KSR's usual deft handling of complex systems.
