I read about half of it. While it absolutely is a very well-written book, kind of funny at times and easy to read, I felt I was basically wasting my time with it. There was little to no added emotional value to the book. Nothing moved me in it. Really everything was too macho for my liking. In comparison to an author like Philip K. Dick I think the ideas presented in the book are not very new or wild, while also in comparison to an author like Ursulla Le Guinn I think there's, like I said, very little to hang on emotionally here.
