I understand this book is award winning and very important in the science-fiction genre. I tried to appreciate it for that and think I succeeded. But this was not my cup of tea. I enjoyed the characters and appreciated the broader story but confess I got lost in the physics, nano-science, and astronomy discussions. My brain doesn't work that way. The spatial logic required to reposition the living room furniture taxes me. Unfolding protons in 11 dimensions was light years beyond my ability to imagine.
