Fantastic book, @Boab
Check out his Baroque Cycle for a real treat that's more than worth the investment of time.
As always with Stephenson, the quality of endings isn't his strong point (IMHO).
I'm currently reading Seveneves and, although it's not on par with either of the above, it's enjoyable and varied in style (I found the first section oddly reminiscent of Heinlein's prose *
*Thankfully neither politically aligned nor advocating familial purity **
** Hmmm - familial purity is, I guess, a central thread of two thirds of the book although not quite through, shall we say, the same mechanism.
