Spin

This Hugo-winning sci-fi novel tells the story of Tyler, Jason, and Diane who witness the Big Blackout - a worldwide phenomenon that changes the course of their lives. The sun is now a heat source, not a celestial object, and an alien-made barrier cuts off Earth from the rest of the universe. Time moves faster outside the barrier, and the death of the sun is only decades away. Jason works to avert this apocalypse while Diane falls into hedonism and cultish religion. As Earth sends terraforming machines to Mars, they discover an identical barrier has appeared around the planet. Spin is a mind-bending and unforgettable journey of cosmic proportions.
