Do authors think its funny to throw 3-letter abbreviations at you without explaining? Do they laugh at silly readers that don't intuitively know what they could mean in a speculative future world?
Well, I'm not laughing.

My current feeling is that the main story feels short in a way, like as if the plot could be described in few words and right now, the main character seems a little naive and the solution a bit railroaded, but as I am aware, I am not even half way through - this impression could change totally.
Suarez's ideas where technology is going to be at in 25 years is definitly interesting and thought provoking.

At around page 40 the thrilling started. The abbreviations are still annoying but I'm choosing to not let that ruin my reading experience..

This isn't starting well, even though he is one of my favorite authors. More 3-letter abbreviations without explanation. And then he just mocks me by spelling out Federal Bureau of Investigation. Really?
Maybe I'm spoilt by my recent reads. 6 books by Ben Aaronovitch and 2 by China Mieville. Both with excellent command of the language and no calling me stupid.
