A review by moiraburke
The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer by Neal Stephenson

3.0

"A futuristic nanotech fairy tale that mixes The Neverending Story, Choose Your Own Adventure, Super Mario Brothers dungeons, Star Trek's computer, and a bit of Wizard of Oz. A coming of age story of a four-year-old girl with a magic book. Not as good as Cryptonomicon, but an entertaining vacation read. Except for the overdone sections about the underwater sex cult."
