Diamond Age

There are so many interesting about the story and so many confusing how the story progress. There are also many interesting advance technologies that is presented in the story such as different mites that there are. Mites are microscopic artificial organisms and programmed by humans to do special tasks. At one time in the story, they mentions that mites are used as security where flow in the air and scan for invaders to protect the city. Some mites look like charcoal or black powder-like substance that are used in laser printers and photcopies.

The story also mentions about real clothes are wore by the noble, but poor people can only wear clothes that made out of plastic. The world seems to divide into high class people and low class people.

I was a bit confusing toward the end of the story. As I progress through the reading, the story somehow jumps from real life to virtual world where Carl meet with Princess Nell. Also princess Nell meet with her mother Miranda and saves her at the end. I kind of speculated that they probably meet each other in the theater or brothel, but they ends up meeting in the virtual world.

They also included sexual content into the story which I think it's way too explicit because it involves a huge orgy group of men and one woman. A group of guys having sex with one woman and burn her into ashes is pretty awful when I am trying to visualizing in my head. It's interesting, but it's too hardcore in my opinion.
