A bit too compressed; could have used an additional ~30 pages so there was less need for pure exposition. For instance...could have just given us the events that occurred in Tehran rather than a (somewhat confusing) description of what happened. 

Very enjoyable on the whole, though, probably the best sci-fi published recently I've read. Also, really enjoyed the disorienting impact of the opening/closing chapters.
