Eon

Book • 1985
In 'Eon,' Greg Bear crafts a complex and epic science fiction tale.

The story begins with the appearance of a 300-kilometer-long hollow asteroid in the solar system, which is discovered to have seven chambers containing remnants of a civilization eerily similar to our own.

The asteroid's interior defies physical laws, stretching infinitely through space/time.

As humans investigate, conflicts arise, and a war breaks out between the Soviet Union and the United States.

The novel explores themes of science, technology, and humanity's potential future, including the possibility of nuclear war and its aftermath.

The book is praised for its imaginative structure, detailed scientific concepts, and engaging plot.
