Finally got to this one. Above average read. Was somehow both more and less than I'd expected given the hype/acclaim. I'd sort of imagined it being some kind of generation-spanning "giant novel" type of deal when really it was more of a standard TNG adventure focused on data and tying in pretty much all the AI and android stuff from TOS and TNG. Really solid and satisfying, generally. Now trying to decide whether to jump straight to Cold Equations even though I haven't gotten very far into the post-Nemesis continuity yet.
One thing I would have liked to see . . . I know this is set, what, 3, 3.5 years before "Author, Author" but I'd really have loved to see the hologram rights thing addressed with this kind of care. It's too bad that that thread in the Homecoming novels didn't tie into this concept (unless I'm forgetting something) instead of doing the hologram uprising thing that never really worked for me and I think pretty much got dropped when we switched from Golden to Beyer. Would've seemed a natural fit for that issue to tie more closely to what was happening with Data and other synthetic sentients.
