The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer by Neal Stephenson

5.0

Really good! I'm generally disappointed by endings ("but what NEXT," I always wonder), but this was still a great ending. A very unique story told in beautiful prose. This is a future that is somewhat believable (though probably not in <100 years) insomuch as the world isn't terrible and it isn't great, it is simply functioning with new technology and cultural norms. The story itself, like I said, was really unique and interesting and honestly kept me wondering throughout what would happen. I could have done with more conversations, expositions, and less fighting (I find fighting boring, personally), but nonetheless it was great.
