Interface by Neal StephensonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Entertaining book that captures the socio-political zeitgeist of the USA for the last ten years.
For me, this book falls into the "mainstream fiction" category; a category of books that I don't often read. And with this expectation I embarked upon this novel and have been enjoying the mind candy aspect. But throughout this book I often found myself chuckling at the so very true social commentary. Great entertainment and great gallows humor as we all get to experience the decline of American civilization.
UPDATE: Just finished this book; it was a lot better than I thought it would be. I liked the ending and the many eery parallels to current reality. Written in 1994, it seems so appropriate for today's political struggle between the few who believe in liberty and the status quo that believes in control and tyranny. Recommended.
