Wow. Trust Stephenson to build a rip-roaring adventure (with considerable, equally enjoyable asides, granted) around the life and times of Isaac Newton. During the reading I described it as a dark comedy telling of the early days of the scientific revolution. Having finished, I would call it a massive fairy tale that just happens to be populated with prominent scientists, monarchs, and other historical figures. I'm tempted to give the whole thing another go on audio quite soon
These are the first ebooks I paid for. That was quite a few years ago, and I am somehow doubting I'd be able to access the files anymore (DRM being what it is, and the company I purchased through having been bought and sold a few times), but I should dust them off for an attempt at a reread...
