Very nice overview of possible options and problems. Coincidentally, I'm reading a reasonably good novel about interstellar colonization by generation ship / hollowed asteroid. ;)

Oh that is good, I read the sample pages and now I will get the kindle version.
One book I liked on this subject has stuck with me. I don't know who wrote it or what the title was but I read it around 20 years ago. What I remember about it was that it was a hollow asteroid or a ship with a very large open area with animals and such. But it was ran by an AI and the humans were born from frozen embryos about 18 years from arrival and raised by the computer. They stayed in the nursery area for many years being taught skills by the computer and eventually let into the large chamber to live as best they could with the resources present and the skills they had learned.
