They spent way too much time on technical jargon and not enough on the plot. It was a slog! I might try it again as a physical book. Because the names are Chinese, I struggled to keep track of all of the characters. That’s a “me” problem not one with the book.

Fascinating. Very clever.

The threads were... scary... slicing the thing like that... and the description of the consequences... brrr....
The computer made of soldiers... wow...
