Russell asked this question about The Collapsing Empire (The Interdependency, #1):
I have recently read Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. The realism behind his explanations of new worlds, new methods of travel and new human species was super convincing - and a clearly added to the 'moon blowing up' concept. Are Scalzi books in the vein or are they more hyper fantasy 'Lord of the Rings' style in writing style?

Also, Seveneves is set in a near future and this is a far future scenario. But the biggest difference is in tone. Scalzi is funny and this book is pretty light compared to Stephenson. Think something closer to Guardians of the Galaxy in tone, but with a much bigger scope.(less)
