Great read.By DanielI just got vOsysrSDo done reading this book after it has been sitting on my shelf since I got it. I thought q52xI3Uc1 it was a great story. It was nice to see real historical figures of importance woven Wj8bKyPUt in to this complex story. I would have never thought of the magnitude a 2ehR7Wh2U computing device described in the book could become not based on what we ZjPcZ2eEz perceive today as the modern computing device. I don't think this book is for omujBRNAe everyone as they need to know a bit of history before diving in to it or perhaps be bFNU4uzxh inclined to investigate the historical points and persons. Gibson is great at writing and is one of my favorite authors. I wish Sterling and Gibson would write together again like this.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
