I genuinely got 50 pages in and got bored.

I'm sure it was pretty good for people who are into it, but honestly it was incompatible with even my truly pleb tastes. Felt like a reddit post without the finesse.

In fact it felt like that loathable breed of books that notice the problems of capitalism without noticing that capitalism is the problem.

good story, not all that well written. he way oversexualized the 15 year old girl and the exposition from the robotic librarian was one of the few times I actually agree'd with the 'show don't tell' meme

It's so so. It's a novelization of a comic book that was abandoned part way through.

I only read Reamde and it was very Reddited, but with decent prose and two good characters. I still recommend it to plebs.

I enjoyed Anathem by Stephenson. Sorta like Harry Potter meets Glass Bead Game. Fun read.
