This was good - but not as amazing as his other books. it felt like it fell apart more and more at the end, so many great ideas scattered across the field and then never explored, so many plot twists that meant nothing...

It's kind of the Transformers: Dark of the moon for good thoughtful SF. Does that make sense?
