The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson
5.0

This has all the things I enjoy about Stephenson’s books in one of the better coalescences of his writings. An innovative idea that leads to a completely original worldview and chain of events within that world that seem totally implausible from the beginning. But Stephenson feeds you the kernels of knowledge bit by bit to allow the you to see the cause and effect chain all the way down the line.

Particularly in this book, he plays with the concept of time incredibly well without breaking its linear path. Letting undisclosed periods pass by without comment until another kernel is handed your way.
