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

what more can i say? it's a great book. this recording is, by contemporary standards, garbage.

this amazing book must be re-recorded

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

One of my favourite books brought to life by a lovely and subtle performance.

Amazing.

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

a critical word used in the title and repeatedly through the text is mispronounced. quite distracting. primer "pry-mer', not "primmer"

reader mispronouncing words

And "Fiona" was the code name used by the developers of the first Kindle. Epic.

better than I remembered. . . .

The audio just wrecks it for me and the string music every chapter just accentuated how far we’ve come in the audio recording industry. I stuck it out though, because it’s Neal Stephenson. It’s a thoughtful, sometimes uncomfortable look at a future tech Pygmalian and the world we strive to both change and preserve in sometimes bizarre traditions.

Terrible audio, but a good book.
