Reading Robert Charles Wilson's Spin

Source: Golden Age of American Sci-Fi
I'm enjoying it so far. The plot is really interesting, centering around the "Spin", an event in which the Moon and all the stars (except the Sun) all disappear one October night. At the same time this happens, every satellite in Earth's orbit falls back to Earth. The Sun, as I already mentioned, doesn't disappear, but is seemingly replaced by an artificial one. The book follows Tyler Dupree and his two friends, Jason and Diane Lawton as they grow up in a world with no stars in the sky, having witnessed their disappearance. There are other revelations, but I don't want to spoil anything too much, so instead, I'll just recommend reading Spin for yourself.
