I was starting to enjoy this book, until a sex scene between a 30-40 year old and a 15 year old killed pretty much all my enjoyment and left me feeling gross after.
Okay this was my second read of the book. I first read it in 1993 or 1994 and I remembered some of it but it is a very expansive story and Mr. Stephenson has done a lot of research into early Sumerian mythology and it shows.
Also, if you have ever heard of SecondLife this is the book that inspired the entire concept of SecondLife and the Metaverse. You will notice a lot of what SL is about is in this book. Good and bad.
