I guess that I'm like the OP. I read the first book. It was okay, but I didn't really see what all the hype was about. The computing concepts were interesting (but surely someone could think of a more efficient way than what was described in the book). The proton just seemed absurd with no power source. It seems a stretch to call it hard sci-fi.

I couldn't make it through the second book. It was one of the few books I just could not finish.

I still don't understand what the hype is about.

For me the first book was kinda ok, just good enough to continue with the second. Then the second and third books just kept getting better and better and better to an unbelievable degree.
