this amazing book must be re-recorded
what more can i say? it's a great book. this recording is, by contemporary standards, garbage.

Interesting but weird end
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.

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

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

Great book - bad recording with audio glitches
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.

better than I remembered. . . .
And "Fiona" was the code name used by the developers of the first Kindle. Epic.
