The narration style takes a little bit to get used to and things are very confusing at first. However, it becomes great quite quickly. There are a lot of short timeskips in the book which mean you only every read some of the most exciting bits of this story.
As any work in short-term futurism, this book was probably much more fascinating closer to its publication date. It does hold up quite well, though.
