![Interface | [Neal Stephenson, J. Frederick George]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51hHsI58X4L._SL175_.jpg)
"Politics for people who don't know politics"
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?Morons.
What could Neal Stephenson and J. Frederick George have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?How about creating a plausible plot. I'm not even talking about the sci-fi aspect of a human-computer interface. I'm talking about the incredibly stupid series of events that results in a bag lady becoming a vice presidential candidate. This is just moronic. And I'm not sure which one of them is responsible for excess of ridiculous similes, but I could do without those too. Are they being paid by the metaphor?
What do you think the narrator could have done better?The narrator was fine.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?Neal Stephenson usually has the capacity to create a compelling read around some feature of new technology or hook. That was the interface. The problem is it was applied to the most ridiculous political thriller ever.
Any additional comments?Uggh. Disappointing. Worse I didn't return it in time to get my credit back.
