I enjoyed many of the concepts but it feels like it could have been shorter.

This was an extremely well done book. I admit KSR usually writes books that are a bit to slow, methodical, dense or obtuse for me. It took me a year to slog through Red Mars. So I am weary of most of his books but this one sounded too interesting to pass up and I was not disappointed.

Man did I try to enjoy this. The world building was exquisite but what's a world without a story or worthwhile characters?

KSR can write, but I just don't agree with with this concept of weighing detail over characters or plot.

Overall interesting story, but it wraps way too quickly while some chapters drag on way too long. The inclusion of lists every few chapters gets very tired.

I'm doing a vlog post on this book later, but to put a long story short, I feel that the travelogue part of the narrative and the conspiracy part of the narrative just didn't mesh, and ultimately made reading the book an unpleasant slog. Thus, I'm lemming this book.
