Absoulute pleasure! Brilant! I love this book! Sci Fi fans will eat it up! Clearly Stephenson is going in a new derection from his old school "cyberpunk" novels, but I love the new direction. Stephenson creates a world so dense and complex that I sometimes had to remind myself of where I was. I was so consumed with this novel that I found myself thinking about it and the questions it rasied even while going about my daily life. Even though it is 800+ pages I read this book in under a week,because I literaly could not put it down. Yes it is "dense" but in the most wonderfull get lost in it kind of way! I was so sad when this book ended.
