Canadian academic Martin Beech has written a text that attempts
to cross the line between science fiction and science fact. Put
simply, his book details a method that just might be able to stop
the Sun from losing its power and, ultimately, save humanity and
the Earth itself. It investigates the idea that the distant future
evolution of our Sun might be controlled (or 'asteroengineered') so
that it maintains its present-day energy output rather than
becoming a bloated red giant star: a process that would destroy all
life on Earth.
