I unintentionally stayed up until dawn reading Seveneves (Neal Stephenson) at the weekend.

There's sufficient description of orbitals, metallurgy, robots and delta-v to make this science fiction. It's a little odd to see that together with social media, smartphones, and mentions of ESA: not much sci-fi I read is set in the present.
