The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson (no spoilers)

I just finished re-reading this month's bibliogoth book The Diamond Age. I read it years ago shortly after it came out and it was my favorite Neal Stephenson book. I remembered it being a very nice story about a young girl and her magical book. I'd totally forgotten about the huge focus on China and the Victorians, which since reading the book have become two of my favorite areas of study so that was quite amusing.
