Philipp Scheel Scheel itibaren Gmina Krzczonów, Polonya
this book wasn't quite as exciting as snow crash or cryptonomicon, but it was still entertaining. the idea of a book which is actually a very complicated form of artificial intelligence, which binds with its owner and teaches it how to deal with the real world. as all neal stephenson books go, it is full of references to cyberspace, computers, and hacking. But since it's from his early days, it is complete with his descriptive gory scenes, including one where a character is blown to pieces from the inside (oh my gosh!)
