It has so many awesome premises, explored interesting topics. Misinformation, Biblical Belt, cryogenics, cloud computing and a lot of other things looked at from a different angle: everything we love Stephenson for. But it was way too long, and the second half felt quite forced. Stephenson’s books always have their slower parts and what fills like a filler, but this one was unnecessarily over-packed on that regard even by his standards.
