À propos de cet audio

 In Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson took science fiction to dazzling new levels. Now, in The Diamond Age, he delivers another stunning tale. Set in 21st-century Shanghai, it is the story of what happens when a state-of-the-art interactive device falls into the hands of a street urchin named Nell. Her life, and the entire future of humanity, is about to be decoded and reprogrammed.©1995 Neal Stephenson (P)2001 Audible, Inc. Hard science-fiction Science-fiction Fiction Cyberpunk Chine

Just like all of Neal’s books, he builds these elaborate set ups that somehow culminate into a collision of multiple different characters meeting up into an epic action movie sequence. The premise was definitely a slow build up for what I thought was a crazy turn of events. Totally recommend it if you can get through some otherwise slow plots.

Interesting but weird end

Really good story that makes you think and examine the world like good sci-fi should.

So good

I'm 14h through the book right now. The book is great - typical Neal : separate stories converging in a masterful way.

However, at around the 13h mark, the audio becomes really hit or miss. Every couple of minutes, you get some weird corruption / compression artifact. I've deleted the content and redownloaded, Switched to high quality, to no avail.

I've just reached out to Audible to hopefully fix that or get a refund because now I'm missing critical plot points every 3-4 minutes.

Great book - bad recording with audio glitches
