A review by story_goblin
The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. by Nicole Galland, Neal Stephenson

Did not finish book.

The concept was fascinating but the delivery was... terrible. All the characters felt like they were playing characters- more like caricatures than characters. And the narration decided to both show AND tell, which really ended up feeling... almost condescending, like they didn't trust the reader to understand simple implications and therefore and to tell you directly what they just showed you. I made it about 40% of the way through the audiobook before calling it quits.
