“I'm halfway through this, and like ocellnuri, am impressed with how well he predicted social networking sites and behaviours. I am intrigued with how he describes our social/urban environments and more than a little scared he's accurately predicting that too! I'm intrigued with how religion, technology, and the physical nature of the human brain intersect with one another in this book. Reminding me a lot of the kind of thinking behind some of Philip K Dick's works (esp the Valis trilogy). ”
“I'm amazed at the fact that this book was written so long ago (1993) and hits so many aspects of internet culture square on the head. Virtual worlds like Second Life and programming technologies we use to organize the web are just a few short steps away from the situations described in the story.”
“Loved this one, it was a fantastic piece of speculative fiction. I liked the way that the author drew on current social and political trends to make some pretty interesting guesses at what will happen in the not so different future.”
“Good start, but the "drive" is lost somewhere in the middle of the book. The ending is purely artificial, some story lines are just forgotten by the author.”
