I just read Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. It's about 900 pages long. At p. 600 it jumps 5,000 years into the future, with lots and lots of description. Although I really liked it, here's a question -- can there be such as thing as too much world building?

I just finished Ken Liu's The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories which will appear tomorrow. Read my review here.
I'm currently reading Contact, which is the second book in the Alien invasion series by Johnny B. Truant and Sean Platt. I think it is an excellent book, the first is called 'Invasion' which i also recommend :).
Hello everyone!I read Collective Mind book and wondered one question. According to the book every person can sell creativity from their brain
and ask for that everything they want.. money, house and so on.
But the rest of their life spend like "a vegetable". And it's becoming a popular trend!
Many people live a wealthy life.
So I wonder what will be your choose? Money or creative?
In these days I've finished the Hunger Games series, reading Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Now, I'm reading Cell.

For your question, money are important in the modern society, but a life without creativity, don't make you more poor?
