Yeah, I guess I approached it with a combative view--and that really colored my take on it. It was fun, definitely--and had it been about another subject that's not my particular bugbear, I would have loved it. Mostly it's me being cranky. I think that (like Snow Crash) I would be far more charitable to it, happy with it, and likely to enjoy it if there wasn't the '*oh*my*god* this is the Best Book Ever ' aura around it.
Which reminds me. It's been maybe seven years since I read Snow Crash. I might check to see if I like it, now that there's time and distance...
Wonderful that you browsed through eeblet! I'm going for first the Master's, then, if all's well and my head hasn't popped, the PhD. Thanks to you too!
