Eon is a science fiction novel by American author Greg Bear published by Bluejay Books in 1985. Eon was nominated for an Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1987.
In the early 21st century, NATO and the Soviet Union are on the verge of a second nuclear war. As the book opens, a 290 km prolate spheroid has been detected following an anomalous energy burst just outside the Solar System. It is found to be duplicate of the asteroid Juno. It moves into an eccentric near-Earth orbit where the rival polities of Earth each try to claim this mysterious object.The duplicate Juno has been hollowed out along its long axis, subdivided into seven cylindrical chambers, and rotates to provide artificial gravity. The chambers are terraformed, with the second and third containing cities that have been maintained by automatic systems for centuries. This small world is dubbed "the Stone" by the Americans, "the Potato" by the Soviets, and "the Whale" (鲸) by the Chinese; data recovered from the libraries of its absent makers refers to "the Thistledown". Explorers of its interior discover that the end of the Stone's seventh chamber opens into "the Way", a corridor that extends to apparent infinity. The Stone’s original inhabitants evacuated into the Way at some time in its past, which is the explorers’ future.
