After reading and loving [b:Seveneves|22816087|Seveneves|Neal Stephenson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1449142000s/22816087.jpg|42299347], I was eager to try another Neal Stephenson novel. Oh boy. Reading this was a chore, and in fact, I couldn't make it through. There just wasn't enough to interest me... Not much plot, fine. New terminology galore, fine. But I need something to care about. None of the spark I expected. Verbose and labored.
