I could not help but think about Seveneves , A great sifi story about the moon blowing up and the 4000 years that follow.

Why: Works well on my phone, iPad, and computer. The IT guys in the office let us install it and use it at work. I like the options to sync to my phone for when I’m traveling. It is $10/mo for premium but all things considered, there’s worse ways to spend $10/mo.
