A review by guido_the_nature_guide
Polostan by Neal Stephenson

adventurous informative slow-paced

3.75

A provisional rating only until books two and three are released. Could even be a five by then. This is clearly just a foundation for the next volumes. I don't mind Stephenson's 1,000-page tomes; I assume that the release of this slim volume was a marketing decision. In any case, it is still good Stephenson. Info dumps and l-o-n-g lists of attractions at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair (Century of Progress). BTW, you don't find out what the title means until the last couple pages of the book.
