minus-squareAnn Archy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down6·edit-29 months agoI refuse to read books or watch films that open with a lexical definition of the title. I just don’t do that.
minus-squareNotAtWork@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·9 months agoIt’s a great book if you can get past that to the first line of the book.
minus-squareAnn Archy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down3·9 months agoI endured the first few chapters. If the first line represented my expectation of the book, then the rest confirmed it.
minus-squareDuamerthrax@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-29 months agoOk, read 50 Shades then. The book is excellent and predictive of so much tech culture to come out shortly after.
minus-squareAnn Archy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down6·9 months agoI am well aware of Neil Stephenson and his contemporaries. It’s still cringe opening your book with a lexical definition. It’s not very well written either, and a bit too comic bookey for me, but personally I didn’t read the thing of course.
