content: This book reminds me of the people who throw around fancy words without any real depth to their knowledge. If you want a book packed with techno babble but no interesting plot, then this is for you. And no, this isn't packed with meaningful techno speak that is just above my head - he references complex sounding fields constantly when describing the future, but then doesn't say how they are applied or what they do - he just throws out the words.If you want techno-babble that is creative and intelligent, look into Peter F. Hamilton.
