Diamond Age

The Diamond Age - Neal Stephenson I have read a couple of Stephensons books, and was really looking forward to reading this.It started really well, they future he imagines of a neo Victorian Asian world, and the technology that this culture has is great. The first section is great, good characters, and plot, but the second section was difficult to follow and didn't gel with the first section.
