A review by jammasterjamie
The Confusion by Neal Stephenson

4.0

Long-winded, but still really entertaining. I get the feeling that Stephenson has buried in encryption an entire other story underneath these three novels which might explain some of the more overly described passages, but I'm not smart enough nor do I have enough time to figure it out, and I'm not obsessed enough to do a Google search and fall down any rabbit holes to see if anyone else has done any digging into it. Maybe next reread. I think the key to it was laid out in Quicksilver by Eliza, but again, I'm too lazy to check right now, and I'm honestly probably not smart enough to figure it out anyhow, so I'll leave it to the bigger brains of the world to decrypt and enjoy. It really would make the indulgent attention to detail make more sense than just being lackadaisically edited, though.
