I wrapped up Cloud Cuckoo Land (fantastic) and Seveneves (great, if a little cramped). Currently reading The Overstory which has been a journey, really makes you think about things that you might not normally (the vastness if time, interconnected ness of nature), but it’s getting a bit drawn out.
I loved Cloud Cuckoo, I really didn't care for Seveneves (and I actively disliked Termination Shock... it's been a progression but I do believe my taste and Neal Stephenson have finally cleanly diverged), and Ioved The Overstory, though yeah, I agree that I think it ultimately was drawn out. I read it while on a big plant, tree, fungus and mycorrhizal kick, reading lots of books on the possibility of plant sensation/communication/cognition.
Nice! Yeah I enjoyed Seveneves but I did enjoy it less than older Neal.
