Vinge, Vernor -- Rainbows End
Lots of cool stuff, but not quite satisfying. Big flashy ending...
well, you'd call it big if you hadn't seen Vinge turn off stars and
steamroll galactic civilizations in his previous books. Which is an
unfair comparison; this is a near-future piece. My point is, it's a
big flashy ending that doesn't seem to resolve very much. Feels like
Vinge wanted the big and the flashy but didn't really have an ending
in mind, so he threw fireworks onto some plot elements and called it a
day.
