Spook Country is alright, I was a bit annoyed that he wrote a sequel to Pattern Recognition that didn't have any of the main characters from that book, but PR had resolved Cayce's story enough that returning to her aside from her appearance in Zero History would have felt cheap. I also like the similarities between the Blue Ant books and the Bridge books, with exploring augmented reality and drones, and similarities between Milgram and Laney.

I like pretending that Spook Country's old man is Cayce's father, but I guess you're supposed to do that.

I liked Pattern Recognition a bunch and got like, 15 pages in to Spook Country before losing all interest for whatever reason

Every Neal Stephenson book has a sex scene so bad it makes me wonder if it’s an in-joke he has with his fans.

Also Charles Stross is more hip. :agesilaus:

i tried reading the laundry files books, the premise interested me, but that guy's books read exactly how he looks, bloatee and all
