Why read it?

1 author picked Soonish as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is a hoot! It’s about as far from an earnest lecture on future tech–including asteroid mining–as can be, yet it still taught me a ton while I laughed out loud. (I may be biased as there’s a nearly full-page cartoon of me on page 66.)

Beware: you may emerge from reading it with new views.

From Martin's list on space mining.
