Notes -
Finished The Diamond Age: some interesting thoughts on child rearing, nanotechnology, and AI. A bit ironic to be reading it on a Kindle, although not one equipped with an LLM to tell me a custom story — give it a few years. The neo-Victorian aesthetic was an interesting touch (modern culture comparisons to Victorianism are a bit en vogue these days). I see how that was supposed to contrast withthe orgies of the Drummers , even though, to me, the latter felt pretty out of place in the novel otherwise.
Started A Fire Upon the Deep. Not far enough to have an opinion.
