Review title: Better than Snow Crash, but where's the AI?
Product review: There are a lot of interesting plot elements, but they don't form a coherent whole for the most part. The ending is kind of weak.Then there is the fact that there is no artificial intelligence to speak of in his world, which is a necessary device for his plot (and because of that really sticks out like a sore thumb), but totally unbelievable considering the other marvels that are shown, even from a conservative point of view.If it weren't so full of neat ideas and plain fun, I'd give it a much lower rating.Read it while it's fresh, because as with most books based on cool science, it probably won't age very well.
