Well, I liked it! I read page 1 last night, and page-the-last about
three hours later.  It's not headed for the Pulitzer, but it's
good reading (and I don't know about you, but that's what I'm here
for). Certainly better than the Alan Dean Foster drivel I was
mainlining (just to get my fix until something good came along,
you understand). Counteracting the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is
really no more unbelievable than Murphy's hyper-extension of
the same law...and Brin was realistic to the extent of giving
his protagonist a concussion after being bopped on the head..

Has anyone read Niven's new book, The Integral Tree? Is it
worth reading?
