Has anyone read the novel Spin?
Thoughts?

Well it won a Hugo award. It is a good book. It kind of summed up the life and death of our solar system but kept it within a human time frame so the story didn't have to jump from one character to another. The protagonist is uninteresting and basically only there to give the reader a window into much more interesting aspects of the setting, plus the whole love story thing and the climax of the story were pretty damn lame. However the sci-fi aspects are damn interesting and the depiction of how the world reacts to a slow, innevitable demise is cool.
