Reminiscent of Diamond Age and Cryptonomicon, as usual Stephenson frequently (almost constantly) uses the characters experiences to take us on long, almost technical divergences from the story, consisting of whatever interesting subject he has exhaustively researched recently, in an interesting and story adjacent manner. If that sounds like a positive attribute, then you will probably like this book, which I do!

This is Stephenson in top form. The plot, which has traditional elements (or if you prefer, tropes) including coming of age, accidental adventure, save the world, political machinations, and martial arts hero among others, continues to surprise me at how engaging it is.
