Gillar upplgget med en miljkmpe som har phittiga metoder fr att stta dit miljbovar. Gillar ocks det naturvetenskapliga temat, mest inriktat p kemi. S jag skulle klassa den som hard sci-fi vilket automatiskt drar upp betyget frn mig. Prosan r inte ngon frebild men den har en jargong som r skoj. Det r den enda av Stephensons bcker (i skrivande stund) som blivit versatt till svenska. Hade nog hellre lst den p engelska men det blev lttare med kemin p svenska. Det r Stephensons andra bok och den har vl lite vl snabba vergngar ibland mm, men blir aldrig trkig och hller spnningen rakt igenom!
