The weird lingo I expected was pretty much familiar from all other media already, and it came in at a casual pace. Somehow (mostly because of a comment in someone's Quantum Thief review from a few years back, I imagine) I was prepared to be bombarded by a metaphorical dictionary brick in the face and that definitely did not manifest. Maybe my line of work with software development impacted that a bit.
The dystopic corporate greed and such is very much spot on but still somehow worse than presently, and the worldbuilding is quite interesting. One very eighties-thing is the incredible amount of constant smoking that really jumps out these days :D
