Hmmmmm....

Is the new Hollywood movie THE CORE based on this book at all?
Okay, if you're interested in technology

I am not much for SF books that are set in the present. It pretty much defeats the basic idea of SF (that is to see how future developments in science and technology affect human society), and to me such books seem alternate reality rather than SF. So this is not my cup of tea. That said this is certainly a well crafted book that moves along reasonably fast, and sketches well the development of a new technology after a scientific breakthrough, although the new technology itself is unbelievable (a material harder than diamond that is stable under high pressure and temperatures? Please!)
This was a pretty good book

Core was fairly good sc-fi reading. If you aren't into novels that can get fairly heavy on technical details then you might want to think twice about reading this book. The plot is sometimes a little slow moving, but picks up at the end for a great finish. I understand Preuss has a few other novels in print, and if they are anything like Core then I would love to read them.
