4.0

Other than Stephenson struggling to write female characters and falling into way too many men-writing-women pitfalls, this was a good read. And to be fair, it's hard to tell whether that's a shortcoming of his writing or a parody of Neuromancer. But where the same issues in Neuromancer meant I never finished the book, this one only has that issue a couple times.

It's funny, it's silly, it's creative, and it touches on a million different subjects.
