Oh, Seveneves! I once listed it as the book that disappointed me the most [1] and seeing cool stuff like this simulation reminded me why again.

I think my explanation still reflects my opinions on the book and might be relevant here:

> I didn't know it before I started reading it, but the book plot is divided in 2 (very different) acts.

> The first one just captivates you in a way that makes it very hard to stop reading or even thinking about it when you are reading.

> Little did I know when the second act started and oh man, it was a complete struggle. It seems that the pace changes completely to an almost stall and the book just became complete unreadable for me.

> While the first act took me days, the second took me weeks and weeks to go further in the book and even with my kindle saying I still had 15% to finish, I got so frustrated that I just quit and never even had the curiosity to know how it ends.
