Interesting concepts, but a less than riveting story to explore them.

Absolutely fabulous. Words will fall short to describe the ingenuity of the author. Ideas were grand, storyline was fantastic.

Will read more things by Egan.

Heady stuff. I got about half way through. I think this would have been better to read than listen to.

I felt like not a lot has happened so far. I’m a nerd and I love technical details but there was so much technical detail about stuff that didn’t seem to advance the plot. 

Tl;dr: got bored 

i honestly kind of lost the plot at the end. not sure if it’s because i read it over too long a time or it’s just confusing
