I hated this book, and I don't understand the love for it. I get that Neal Stephenson was trying to make some metaphor about blah blah blah, but it just didn't work. Hiro Protagonist, bet he thought he was being really clever with that one, get it Hiro (like Hero) and Protagonist (real subtle), spends the good majority of the book conversing to a virtual library bot about history and lore and the other half explaining this to others. This book could have been way better if the editor had done a better job of cutting down extraneous exposition.
The female protagonist consistently gets ogled by grown men despite the fact that she is 15, and the book normalizes this distgustingness by having said 15 year old have sexual relations with a grown man.
Reading this book made me want to tear my hair out. I hated it. It tried too hard to be deep when it really is just hacker dude's gross dystopian fantasy. My favorite character was Fido, and he was barely in this book. Not the worst book I ever read, but it's up there. I'm sorry if you love this book, but this book didn't do it for me.

entendi porra nenhuma, e isso é um elogio.
cyberpunk é um gênero que eu me divirto bastante. existem muitas vertentes possíveis para trabalhar, mas é delicioso encontrar uma obra tão preocupada em ser ao mesmo tempo um excelente exemplar do gênero onde está inserido e ao mesmo tempo uma sátira muito bem vinda às hipocrisias do capitalismo agressivo dos estados unidos.
além disso, que CURIOSO uma ficção-científica carregada de autoconsciência estrelada por um protagonista negro chamado Protagonista envolvendo uma trama distópica para impedir uma bomba que pode quebrar o espaço tempo contínuo... ter sido lançada... em 1992. que coincidência, não é mesmo, christopher nolan?

I always enjoy re-reading this. Each time there are fun big themes to reconsider and loads of nuances that are fun to rediscover. Also, a great adrenaline read!
Always good! I enjoyed this as an audiobook for the drive from DC to NM. There are a few "audio-splices" which were odd. If you haven't read it - go read it!
