A review by bfls
The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. by Nicole Galland, Neal Stephenson

4.0

I enjoyed this but it felt like a toned down Stephenson. The flair was there, but muted.

On the plus side, I thought the development of Erzsabet's character was very well done. Also, as someone who recently was working for a small company (< 50 employees) which was bought out by a multinational with 10s of thousands of employees, I found the middle third of the book absolutely hilarious. Every powerpoint, every policy, every bit of political manoeuvring was spot on .

On the negative side, it has a classic Stephenson ending. That is, it just stops rather than ends.
