The Diamond Age, by Neal Stephenson

I didn’t like this book at all, which was a surprise since I enjoyed Snow Crash quite a bit.

I found very little of interest in this book which is a story in the future about society splintered into different sects and a little girl who gets her hands on a special book that has all sorts of special adaptive learning features and helps her develop into a leader.

Everything seemed so predictable. I labored to read the whole thing, hoping it would come together.

It didn’t.
