I'm biased because I'm an astrophysicist but this book is an absolute banger. It's probably too technical of a sci-fi for many people but I think he does a decent job of bringing very technical concepts down to a readable level. It's like if Andy Weir really liked orbital mechanics and also didn't write the same main character on copypaste.

The first chapter is rough. Make sure you’re able to emotionally deal with reading/listening to people dealing with the world ending. It affected me more than I thought it would.
