Ending was a bit weak considering the big ideas in the rest of the book, but maybe I've just gotten to used to more complex weaving in later Stephenson works.

Loved it. Needed a little bit of tidying up to make it truly exceptional but the thought and imagination that went into this are first rate.

What a wild, high-concept ride. Shades of iconic sci-fi legend “Neuromancer,” but at a nice, zippy “Ready Player One” reading level. Dystopian commercialism, plucky young heroes, cool tech (high and low) - Snow Crash it all. Plus a charming blend of how the post-Y2K world pictured our the digital future, and a couple of guesses so cool, they’re still not reality yet.
