Neal Town Stephenson (born October 31, 1959) is an American writer, known for his speculative fiction works, which have been variously categorized science fiction, historical fiction, maximalism, cyberpunk, and postcyberpunk. Stephenson explores areas such as mathematics, cryptography, philosophy, currency, and the history of science. He also writes non-fiction articles about technology in publications such as Wired Magazine, and has worked part-time as an advisor for Blue Origin, a company (funded by Jeff Bezos) developing a manned sub-orbital launch system.Born in Fort Meade, Maryland (home of the NSA and the National Cryptologic Museum) Stephenson came from a family comprising engineers and hard scientists he dubs "propeller heads". His father is a professor of electrical engineering whose father was a physics professor; his mother worked in a biochemistry laboratory, while her father was a biochemistry professor. Stephenson's family moved to Champaign-Urbana, Illinois in 1960 and then to Ames, Iowa in 1966 where he graduated from Ames High School in 1977. Stephenson furthered his studies at Boston University. He first specialized in physics, then switched to geography after he found that it would allow him to spend more time on the university mainframe. He graduated in 1981 with a B.A. in Geography and a minor in physics. Since 1984, Stephenson has lived mostly in the Pacific Northwest and currently resides in Seattle with his family.Neal Stephenson is the author of the three-volume historical epic "The Baroque Cycle" (Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System of the World) and the novels Cryptonomicon, The Diamond Age, Snow Crash, and Zodiac. He lives in Seattle, Washington.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Reamde, and Cryptonomicon comes an exciting and thought-provoking science fiction epic—a grand story of annihilation and survival spanning five thousand years.

What would happen if the world were ending?

A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb. In a feverish race against the inevitable, nations around the globe band together to devise an ambitious plan to ensure the survival of humanity far beyond our atmosphere, in outer space.

But the complexities and unpredictability of human nature coupled with unforeseen challenges and dangers threaten the intrepid pioneers, until only a handful of survivors remain . . .

Five thousand years later, their progeny—seven distinct races now three billion strong—embark on yet another audacious journey into the unknown . . . to an alien world utterly transformed by cataclysm and time: Earth.

A writer of dazzling genius and imaginative vision, Neal Stephenson combines science, philosophy, technology, psychology, and literature in a magnificent work of speculative fiction that offers a portrait of a future that is both extraordinary and eerily recognizable. As he did in Anathem, Cryptonomicon, the Baroque Cycle, and Reamde, Stephenson explores some of our biggest ideas and perplexing challenges in a breathtaking saga that is daring, engrossing, and altogether brilliant.

读后感

夜以继日的看完Neal Stephenson的七夏娃，很多话想说，一直没得空坐下来写读后感。然后昨晚看着英国脱欧公投结果，惊呆的感觉完全是书里的开篇描写。月球被无缘无故的打散成七块。地球人都惊呆了。 睡一夜醒来，英镑跳水之余道琼也跌了六百点。发现英国脱欧的结果和七夏娃的情...  

用户评价

史诗级。Dhina见证的那些英雄们一个个死去的情节，让我流泪不止。Ymir的六人壮举，Sean孤独的死撑到最后，Markus的神勇，日本核专家献身。。。就连Dhina的第一任男朋友对忍耐号的改造和自杀。。。都哭红眼了。。。为什么写死他们啊？他们的基因多好啊，可惜了。。。五千年后的那节情节不重要（想睡Beled），主要是看个作者对人类的力量抱有的笃定和情怀了。看的是英文版，长篇累牍的细节把想象力榨干了。

刚读完part1，技术细节描写太细致了，原理、外貌、大小数据都有，太适合拍成电影或电视剧了。梦想将来可以把读过的一些优秀小说都改编成电影，然而我似乎与电影专业又很遥远。。。 2018 update：太多information dump，读到空间站生存那段就弃书了，还剩800多页实在读不下去

喜欢硬科幻的，推荐这本。期待电影或剧。

点子很好，前2/3也很硬，但是可读性比较差，太多没用必要的描写了，逼得我硬生生学会了英文略读

一次神秘的灾难使得地球将在两年内变得不适宜人类居住，全球各国集合所有力量制定了一个计划，让人类作为一个种族得以在太空中继续生存。然而人性之复杂外加太空中的各种威胁使得幸存者所剩无几。五千年后他们的后裔分裂为七个具有不同特征的种族，总人口达到三十亿。当这些人重返地表，地球就像外星世界一样陌生，而且似乎还有其他未知的存在……尼尔·史蒂文森的行文往往会突然出现神来之笔，让人惊叹。
