Mr. Stephenson is back! This time with a tale that I suspect will soon converge on the creation of the atomic bomb. Like the Baroque Cycle this one is a mixture of history (early to mid 20th century) and geek lit. Quite enjoyable and satisfying in many ways. I can't say much without bruising your experience  but the adventures of Dawn/Aurora will keep you reading.
