How the complaining hero saved the earth from dissolution. It got a bit too 'deus ex machina' for me. And then it finished with a chapter that should have been called, 'Be careful what you wish for' as they dropped the hero into a life of regret.
It was special.
Took me forever to read. Mostly due to changing jobs and schedules, but also just because it took a lot of effort to digest. Was really expecting a Doctorow book, but it felt a lot more like stross.
I'm not really sure I processed most of it, especially really the very end.
