Stephenson writes best in a near-realistic past. A must read for fans of cryptonomicon

Pretty fun, but with random boring tedious interludes, as you might expect from Stephenson. Looking forward to more in the series.

“... would begin to take it seriously once they understood that the women took it seriously. This was surprising. A separation would occur. Men who did not like being surprised—stupid men—would turn away and mutter rude things. Men who rather liked being surprised—and she was pretty sure Owen was one of those—would find in it something to take them out of their ennui.”
