I like the concepts behind the book., but I could not engage with the writing style. There are multiple intertwined story lines, and the story viewpoint flips back and forth between them. Sometimes the same scene is played several times from different perspectives. This was, at first interesting, but quickly became irritating, and eventually boring. I am still deciding about reading the next book.

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed getting to hear from several different characters' perspectives and I really enjoyed learning about the technology they have and how they use it. I wish I had stopped with this book instead of going on to book two which I did not enjoy. So four stars for this one, but no need to read book two.
