3.0

As everyone else has said, this is a mixed bag. I thoroughly enjoyed it up until about 65% where it started to go slightly down hill and then I hit 70% where it became a slog. It was actually okay as a story by itself I suppose, but as part of a collection I kept waiting for how The Homecoming tied into the mythos. It took forever to get there. Deepnet was fucked up and not in a fun creepy Cthulu way. Even if you ignore the distasteful ending of
Spoilerhim wanting to breed (I'm sorry, I couldn't find a better phrase. Gross.) with his presumably youngish daughter,
books focusing on computers and the internet tend to be eyeroll inducing and boring, no matter when they're written.
