It's not just that, but also the main protagonist is written terribly and never given any real faults or challenges to overcome. During the entire book there is never a challenge that is not resolved by the next paragraph.
The Japanese friends that he makes are grossly stereotyped and are kept one dimensional during the entire book as well.
The main character also strikes me as incredibly creepy, and to a level where he could be classified as an para-social stalker. Just comes off as being a terrible person overall.
Spielberg's movie however is fantastic and one of those rare instances where the movie truly does outrank the book.
There needs to be a statue built for this man. My understanding of Rust and low level computing has become oceanic due this man's hours of videos and books.
I started using Firefox as a main driver a year ago due to me interfacing with Linux distros a lot more often. It's the browser that is usually always installed from the get and offers the best experience after logging into my Firefox account.
They also have some other really good tools they support such as firefox relay which is basically a proxy email address for your main email so you can post your an address on the airwaves w/o compromising your main email.

I take the Capitol Limited(Chicago <-> DC) most of the time when I go back to home.
Pros:
+ Comfort. You basically get a first class seat with cafeteria access. You can also purchase a whole room, but is less affordable than a plane ticket if you're traveling alone.
+ Regularity. The train leaves at the same time everyday both from DC and Chicago.
+ It reaches parts of the country not easily accessed by an Airport. If you need to visit someone in middle of nowhere USA, Amtrak might just be a better option.
+ Price. Book it in advance and you'll be saving ~$200 in airfare.
+ No TSA to check your luggage, some trains allow you to bring your bike, and there's always plenty overhead space.
+ Easy access to outlets for charging devices.
Cons:
+ Long! Chicago to DC takes 17 hours. Chicago to San Francisco can take two days. SW Pennsylvania is snaking route that feels like forever. It's really a question of how much you value your time.
+ No WIFI on most trains, so bring a book if you cannot scrum up a hotspot.
