The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer by Neal Stephenson
4.0
Unsurprisingly, very intricate and intriguing book. Stephenson's sentences and paragraphs are meticulously crafted, with newly created words mingling with normal vocabulary and technical jargon seamlessly.
The possibilities extrapolated with the advent of nanotechnology is fascinating and described well enough to be so close to believable, and this excites me for the future and the technological advances that should come with it.
Overall really enjoyed the book, though not particularly satisfied with how the story was broken up. I am looking forward to re-reading Cryptonomicon and Snow Crash after picking this one up.
