eastofesten 's review for:
The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer
by Neal Stephenson
the first half of the book is, as usual, much better than the second half. I really can't stand Stephenson's depiction of women, though young Nell is a great protagonist. Interested in the concept & general idea of the novel, the questions generated by the "ractive" and primer (Hamlet on the Holodeck, anyone?) but totally lost once the time jump happens.
