A review by tamiror
Bomblight, by Neal Stephenson

4.0

A well though-out near-future apocalypse, that spirals out of control with drastic effect in the last 200 pages or so... Well worth a read, but some would likely prefer avoiding the "adventurous" spin that is the novel's final act, be it for its audacity or for its somewhat smarmy final scene. This kind of gambit may have worked exceedingly well in "Anathem", but is far from effective here, and costs Stephenson my 5th star.
