2.0

The book has absolutely too much going on. There are too many characters to keep up with and none of them are developed well. By the end of the book, there are like 13 characters who are all semi-important and I couldn't remember who half of them were. The idea behind the book is really cool but the execution of it was not done very well. The author clearly has lots of knowledge about some of the topics within the book that overshadows any kind of character development or plot pushes.
