This book keeps almost being interesting. With his other books I at least felt the desire to know what was happening. I don't even know what I'm supposed to want to know... Nothing is happening. And it's taking so goddamn long.

I keep almost dnfing this book and then not doing it ... I had similar feelings with Anathem but they went away after about 40% through the book when things started to pick up. This book has not given me any real reason to keep going... And I still have 15 hours left on the audiobook.

I've gotten really good at recognizing the 50% mark of books just by what's happening in the story. Unfortunately this does not help with my own writing in any way shape or form.

Neal Stephenson is a perfectly insufferable math nerd which makes for good sci-fi and speculative fiction. He also seems to be a not so perfectly insufferable libertarian which is hit or miss. Very odd point of view I don't get very often outside of my one coworker as he's very anti-liberal but also a staunch atheist. That could all be false but it's the impression I get from reading 2 going on 3 of his books
