In this novella, Neal Stephenson truly embraces his signature style, delving into a plethora of technological concepts, all compacted within a mere 100 pages. I found myself thoroughly impressed, especially considering Stephenson's reputation for crafting weighty tomes like “Seveneves.” Here, he weaves a visionary narrative, incorporating high-tech concepts and a handful of characters to fashion a compelling story.
What sets this novella apart from Stephenson's other works is its brevity; you can easily read it in just an hour and a half. It exceeded my expectations.

This one really didn't do it for me. It was a quick read, but it was pretty much just about building a tower, and engineering. This may appeal to some people, but it wasn't for me.
I received a copy from Net Galley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
