Interesting premise, but execution is not enthralling
I liked the premise for this book a lot. Cloistered, secluded intellectuals pursuing their research with very limited technology, no individual property rights, and no faith in transcendent entities - walled apart from the religious, consumerist and cell-phone-infested rest of the population. Yet their subsequent space exploration and their contact with creatures from parallel worlds (one of which is suspiciously similar to Earth) is not as satisfying as the premise. For a more fascinating sci-fi story in the "Jesuits meet Aliens" vein, read "The Sparrow" by Mary Doria Russell. If you are Stephenson fans, you have probably enjoyed "Cryptonomicon" more than you will enjoy this one. Nevertheless, a disciplined use of invented language and the invention of a rather interesting ... I liked the premise for this book a lot.

Nevertheless, a disciplined use of invented language and the invention of a rather interesting post-apocalyptic scenario were what kept me going through the end.
