Details

I struggled to find a synopsis but its starts something like ...
The Diamond Age is, fundamentally, about what would happen, or what might happen, if we really got nanotechnology working properly. How would society adapt if, suddenly, government became obsolete? With the Feed and the Matter Compilers able to create anything out of nothing, the entire economic and political underpinnings of the planet came undone, and people banded together into phyles. Like-minded individuals bonded with each other through shared values and morality, united only by a commonly upheld treaty which, in turn, rested on the new economy that nanotechnology allowed.
Thank you Chris from Good Reads lol

I feel like either they give too much away or don't say anything at all Neal is one of the best Sci-Fi writers and this might be my favorite give it a try if you don't love Nell then I will understand why you didn't read the book but I will not understand why you don't love her lol
