jnl_dayton 's review for:

The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. by Nicole Galland, Neal Stephenson
4.0

Reminded me a lot of Connie Willis The Doomsday Book (which I preferred).
Good; long.
Favorite character was the first witch from Hungary Erszebet. She said:
"Death would have been less boring than surviving this last century. This is a terrible country for old people. You put them away in horrible buildings that are completely shut off from life, and then do everything possible to keep them alive. It is a very stupid system. You should all be shot."
