The key to it all is that as ridiculously huge as all that sounds, Reynolds presents it in a very plausible and accessible manner.
The scope of this sounds similar to that of Asimov's Foundation series. Is that a fair comparison?

I haven't read anything by Reynolds yet and I'm intrigued, so I added House of Suns to my TBR list. Thanks for the suggestion!
