Book Review: The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer


The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated PrimerThe Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer by Neal Stephenson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I finally finished this book and I have to say that there are some really good parts to the story. The idea about using nanotechnology is really great and some of the descriptions of the primer and Turing machines is really nice.


But, like some other reviewers said, there are lots of pages in the book that feel unnecessary. I liked some of the characters but it was a dense book to read and I would have rated it much better if it had 1/3 fewer pages.
