Phasenweise gefällt mir das Buch unheimlich gut, allerdings sind mir am Ende (als ich dann fertig werden wollte) wahrscheinlich doch einige Fäden der Handlung entgangen, und der Schluss kam etwas unvermittelt. Die Geschichte weist viele Facetten auf, mich sehr interessiert haben: die sozialen Unterschiede, die durch ein interaktives Buch ausgeglichen werden ("Die illustrierte Fibel für die junge Dame"), die Vorstellungen, wie Zusammenleben Mitte des 21. Jahrhunderts aussehen kann, neue Technologien (Milben, Nanossiten...), Architektur etc. Visionär, nicht ganz so gut wie "Snow Cash", SF interessiert mich wieder...
