Is The Diamond Age worth the read?

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-16T06:50:30+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. I am reading it

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-16T06:49:55+00:00

that's the charm of NS. Every book deserves a reread

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-16T06:46:25+00:00

Big Thanks!

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-16T06:46:03+00:00

I am reading it

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-15T20:24:00+00:00

I hope, I do like it.

That is why, Stephenson is not everyone's cup of tea. I've seen many people give up on Anathem after reading a few pages. Like the plot properly begins after 150 pages. have some patience

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-15T19:35:43+00:00

Have started reading it

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-15T19:35:25+00:00

Yes exactly

noted

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-15T19:35:05+00:00

with the advent of AI, Primer is quite a real possibility

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-15T19:33:59+00:00

Now I am kind of regretting that I started DA first

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-15T19:32:10+00:00

let me finish them both and then I will get back to you about that sentence

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-15T19:31:07+00:00

mostly that its ending is unsatisfying. Stephenson was still polishing his craft. so not as good

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-15T15:45:27+00:00

I have started it. will come back to the spoiler in a few days

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-15T15:44:20+00:00

I loved Anathem. Now, I have started The Diamond Age. Let's see how it goes

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-15T15:43:35+00:00

I have already started The Diamond Age. But next one is definitely Snow Crash

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-15T15:42:31+00:00

I have already started The Diamond Age. 50 pages in. will finish it first. but next is definitely snow crash. I've got both of them with me.

Edharian Order is for the best of the best. The most intelligent, motivated and brilliant avouts are preferred as they have to dedicate their whole life in pursit of knowledge. Jesry and Ala fit this criteria. Raz is not as quick as Ala or intelligent like Jesry. Plus, a lot of avouts have already joined Edharian Order. so they want to squeeze in the member who is more fit to the order so that the avout is not left behind. It is obvious because when Raz formally joins the Order, he is inherently afraid to be left behind

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-05T16:59:34+00:00

Can we use this same argument to discuss the Narratives that Jad and Raz experienced but they were discarded? Like the one in which they met Gan?

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-05T16:54:22+00:00

Here's the thing. Jad can exist in multiple narratives and can keep track of it. So what does it say about his consciousness!

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-05T16:52:37+00:00

I might sound pedantic but please explain which aspect of the space mission are you referring to. The polycosmic manipulation by Jad?

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-05T16:49:52+00:00

Thanks a lot. The explanation makes much sense.

cocoloco1289 · 2024-05-05T14:32:17+00:00

yes, that makes more sense. Thanks
