This is a workout for your brain. It is set on a world where intellectuals live in monasteries to protect knowledge. Stephenson invents a lot of new words. It takes a few hours to learn the vocabulary. Once you do, it becomes addictive. It is a unique mix of high adventure and deep philosophical debate. It is a book for people who love to think while they listen.
