I'm still flailing around trying to figure out the technology that is at the center of this story- nearly halfway through and no exposition, which is great and also a little frustrating for the part of my brain that wants the technical stuff to be clearer. And yet, still enjoying it despite feeling like I only understand 50% of what is going on. Impressive work.

This book throws you in the deep end. I don't usually read hard sci-fi and this one certainly has a lot of jargon that I don't remotely understand. However, I still find it interesting and want to keep going-- but it is a book that requires quiet and no distractions.
