its an interesting mix of stephenson science context and romance novel. stephenson's signature composition is world building at the start, story in the middle, then go completely off the rails at the end. here the other co-author clearly takes over the ending so at least its coherent. if this book's aim is to appeal to a wider audience, its a good effort.

Fun and clever with a brisk, energetic pace to balance out its (delicious) wonkishness, and just enough intrigue to turn the pages without becoming overwrought.

Not the most original of shaggy dog stories, but worth it for the epic poem set in Walmart.

It's clear the authors had a ball writing this. The humor is a constant through a ridiculously entertaining historical romp. I'll never get enough of this kind of fun.
