content: Started out somewhat OK. Sometimes the "humor" reached Neal Stephenson lows, but it wasn't nearly as annoying. Then the Singularity happened, and things just went downhill.I don't think I'm the right target for these "idea" novels. Some of the ideas can be interesting, but I'd rather read them in non-fiction, rather than have to endure bad, "witty", "hip" writing from people who don't seem to care about writing as an actual craft.For all the flack that nerds give William Gibson, at least the man can put a sentence together artfully and evocatively; something that these authors that get compared to him in the sales blurbs can't seem to do.
