Good -- but I was hoping for Great
This is yet another novel where I was leaning toward 8 or 9 stars, but which was torpedoes in the last 50 pages to 6 or 7 stars -- as if the author had said "Oh shit, the publisher is demanding I send this novel in, so I'm just going to send them what I've got".
The hypothesized future technology is hugely interesting and well-done. The story is absorbing, right until it falters at the end.
It's certainly worth a read -- but don't put it at the top of your list ahead of books you're dying to read, and don't put such high expectations on it that you are bound to be disappointed.
