The last part was a nice change of pace after the super depressing middle section. It was a relief to see how the humanity was able to survive and adapt.

- The_Colonel 2y ago> super depressing middle section That's IMHO Stephenson at his best. > It was a relief to see how the humanity was able to survive and adapt. Could be, but the execution of that was very lacking. The story arc, characters just don't cut it. Additionally, I was particularly disappointed at the genetic determinism, which Stephenson surely knows is extremely dubious. I suspect that the only reason he wrote / included this part into the book is the allegory of the seven Eves.
