It is somewhat context aware, but customizes a story based up on the person, but only with limited relation to the ongoing events in life. I’m not talking about learning ‘apart’ here, where you go into the book and learn, but instead where your world is augmented not only with information, but with learning support. I love Stephenson’s vision, but this is a light twist on that. I like WGU’s competency program (tho’ of course I worry about the focus being a bit more knowledge than skill focused, and the lack of social interaction is, to me, not as optimal (with the caveat that I haven’t done a deep look at them for a number of years now).

The novel traces 3 girls who have the primer through life. the device supported by a mentor did have a cost.

In practice, the competency based degree program of Western Governors University operates in a similar manner but only until one gets a diploma or as long as one pays about USD 6K/year for mentor support.

There are other models of a similar nature emerging in practice
