33/2022 – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1980 Hugo Best Novel
The story of the construction of humanity’s first space elevator, tied to the history of the (semi-fictional) island that serves as its base. An easy read, concerned primarily with exploring how such an engineering feat might happen, and without any real antagonist or great interpersonal dramas.
