Review:
Clearly Neal Stephenson is spending a lot of time thinking about uploading brains to a virtual environment. I'm not really thrilled about the creation of the garden from nothingness, but OK, I guess it is important to grab onto something.
The thought of the United States swiftly riding off the rails makes some sense given the current trend. I guess I am tainted by having recently read "The Handmaid's Tale" and am a little spun out on the religious dystopia. The thought of all society just going away and living in the cloud seems highly unlikely.
This is a very long book about the recreation of society. Of course, I love Neal Stephenson, so I listened to the whole thing. If this is your first Stephenson distopian novel, pick another. If you liked the last one, then you will probably like this one and it is shorter than whatever you read before.
