“It's great spec-fic. A guy at the bookstore warned me that it included too much math (i'm not a math-head by any means... majored in art so I wouldn't have to take math classes), but after reading it I can authoritatively state that the guy at the bookstore must have never read the book. There is a mind-bending amount of discussion of "parallel universes" (though the book goes into detail how that term isn't really accurate), but never once did I have to put the book down due to brain exhaustion. Stephenson hit it out of the park with this one, and I can't wait to see what he'll do next. ”
