      You wouldn’t even have to obsess over the history, alchemy, etc., just don’t fuck it up. People get too wrapped around an axle thinking every single infodump has to be there. Stephenson’s got issues (coughendingscough), but the stories are informed by the same research as the infodumps, and they’ll hold up well.
