Quantum Thief

Finished Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi (mostly as an audiobook, though I also had it on my Kindle as well). I don’t like to say bad things about books as I appreciate the years long effort that goes in to creating them but still I was disappointed: didn’t really care about characters, felt like language was unnecessarily tricky and felt that the book was testing my intelligence rather than tried to tell me a story.

What I liked was the prisoner’s dilemma prison and that was like 5% of the book. Somehow I wish I could have gotten more of that.
