DNF Poor book Glad I only paid a $1 for it Probably will throw it in the paper recycle bin so it doesn't disappoint anyone else. Someone in another review mentioned the word obtuse. If that meant using terms which aren't defined anywhere in the book to present a story which can not be understood and enjoyed because of lack of context and understanding then that would be a good description. Esoteric might be giving it too much credit as the story hiding amongst the technobabble is not interesting. Do not waste your time on this book. Too many other good books to read. How overrated crap like this is published and touted as best Sci Fi debut of the year is beyond me. This guy must know some people trying to help him sell his book.
