The Freeze-Frame Revolution by Peter Watts
4.0
Overall I enjoyed this book. Peter Watts has some really great ideas for stories and settings, and this is is no exception. I can easily recommend this book to anybody looking for a quick and well thought out scifi story.
That said, the delivery leaves something to be desired. The ending in particular was a bit of a let down. There's a sort of epilogue that explains how one of the characters was able to do certain things, but it felt like the wrong way to clarify. I didn't want the root cause, I wanted the layer after that. The evidence used to draw conclusions. Explained in the main narrative and not the epilogue.
