Beautiful, original, and witty. The sweetest sci-fi I've read. I personally loved the narrative voice and form, but can see how it might not be for everyone in it's structure and form. Stephenson captures the generation and change with great clarity, presenting it with humour and enveloped within a pacy story. I did get lost a bit in the middle, but found myself getting back into it. We are all indeed toasters with hearts set to five and what a privilege that must be.
