The Diamond Age: or, A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer

After 2 hours of reading, did not get a sense of a plot. Just world building and some characters engaging in daily routines. There is this guy that robs people, and gets caught. Nothing exceptional about it. Also a young girl and his brother, interacting with the technological aspects of this futuristic world.

The writing is heavy on sci-fi slangs that denotes precisely the kind of book I don´t like to read. If the story is no interesting enough, this detracts me from reading the book.
