All of the positive raving for this book is true! All of the criticisms are also true! Stephenson is his own thing and he breaks all the rules of fiction. He breaks them in a couple different ways in this book. When it's great it's REALLY GREAT. When it's not so great, it kinda sucks. At different moments, I wanted to give this five stars. It's a hell of a book and I absolutely recommend it to any "hard" SF fans. Know that the exposition can really be a brick wall in the storytelling and it's not artfully done at all. But Stephenson has certainly earned himself a place on the hard-core SF shelf with this one (if he hadn't already).

LOVED this book. It's my first novel by Neal Stephenson, and I listened to 99% of it on audiobook, only turning to the hardcover for the epilogue. (Side note: the Audible recording is excellent.) The blend of hard science, space life, and human personalities and relationships was enthralling and intoxicating - it was one of those rare books that I wanted to start again as soon as I finished it.
