By about page 300 I thought I knew what the outcome of the Incident actually was, and I'm still reasonably certain I'm right about that, though there's some ambiguity. But having my opinions about a character totally flipped so dramatically took the book from simply fascinating to "HOLLY COW! I won't forget this book any time soon!"
It is dense. And if you're the sort of person that enjoys experimental science then this is no bother to read. Let me put it this way, if you read Seveneves or Blindsight and came out with your brain intact and happy, you'll be fine.
Incidentally, I really have a better understanding of certificates and public/private keys now. That's been really helpful at work and my colleagues now think I'm a wizard.
