Maybe I liked this cause I always wanted to learn how to hack and never did, but Nuwere's voice is also simply very engaging. You feel like he's talking to you, explaining things as you get that funny look on your face that says you don't understand. He's had a incredible life, doing what he wants and coming a long way so I can't help but be slightly jealous. But while his journey is interesting, the book fails to come to a conclusion. I think it does in his head, but I can't follow it. Granted, he's really young, only 22? 23? when this was published so it's quite possible his tale is one of those that's focused on the journey. But I still found the end a little off and random. Regardless, I did really like this book. I'm a huge sci-fi fan and to read something with those elements that didn't get scornful looks from those who believe I should read classic, whom classic lovers even picked up and read the back of, made me feel like a smart reader.
