review 1: I really liked everything else I've read by this author particularly the baroque cycle, anathem, cryptonomicon. I'm sure it's partly because of my political biases but this one annoyed me. However, more than that, it failed to deliver a plot that was as interesting and original as I've come to expect from Stephenson. The exploration into video games and digital currency was interesting and I wish that had been more of the focus. The hostage taking part is simply banal.
review 2: If this is what techno-thrillers look like, I have to read more of them. I also have to read more Stephenson's books. I absolutely loved most of this book. The plot was sufficiently convoluted, the action very satisfying, the technobabble reasonable. The characters were lovable, cons... moreistent and deep. I liked how the plot weaves many different elements together - drug smuggling, computer games, international terrorism and malware are all intertwined in a natural way, with no signs of any intent to just cram as many things into a single book as possible. less
