The Diamond Age pulls you into a wonderful world of new lingo, social strata and devices. The story starts out with few different story lines that inevitably weave together. It is set in a possible future in which country states have become obsolete because of a digital currency. Prophecies of cryptocurrencies and 3d-printer in a book that was first published in 1995.
The book has some great words and wonderful phrasing. Sentences are straightforward and not needlessly complicated. There is a colorful cast of characters and a very interesting world this is a part of.
The only thing that really bummed me out was that it ended rather quickly.
