The first half of the book is very good as they bounce through the stories. The second half is just two huge chapters and they are very dense.

Wanderers hit at the right time with the right vibe. This book was not as good but it felt good to have their stories end and be finished. It was still pretty good

This book is very very slow. There are large swaths of 1600s bureaucracy and letter writing which you have to read to get to the very interesting ideas in the 24th century
