Add a CommentLove this book. Thinking i'm going to read it again soon..
I'm almost half way and loving this. Listening to it as an audio-book. We have lots of laugh out loud moments in it.
I'm not a huge fan of Stephenson's later bloated books, but this is a fast-paced and inventive work on nanotechnology and China.
This is a fantastic novel. The ideas in here are a blast, the setting is a joy to discover, the writing is great, and the characters are a lot of fun. I think this book is at Stephenson's sweet spot: early enough in his career that his writing was still entertaining, but not so late that editors were afraid to cut him down to size.
Very enjoyable if you are a Shakespeare buff. Pretty good even if you are not.
