The lack of consistent central characters and a continuing plot got kind of old.
There are consistent characters in the sense that people keep remembering the characters who have been dead for centuries, and the plot is really the mile high view of this branch of society, but it doesn't make for the best story.
I'm also a little surprised nuclear power seems to be the answer for how everything works. Ooh, look, we miniaturized nuclear reactors to make all sorts of useful things. I would think that several millennia in the future they'd have something better than nuclear power.
