  “I think it says a lot about this book that I apparently read it, had it on my reading list as definitely read, but I can't remember a single thing about it.”

  “This is for Spanish readers:
  Libro interesante en el cual se nos presenta con asombrosas dotes de profecía, las consecuencias del cambio climático, el desastre económico después de una gran crisis, el enfrentamientoo politico/religioso a causa de la clonación humana y la falta de identidad de un pueblo que parece haber perdido todo interés por la Unión. Cargado de techno-widget-gadget-gizmo en parte de sus páginas, el libro se puede calificar de interesante desde el punto de vista del análisis que Sterling hace de la situación en la que se encuentran los protagonistas, aunque es cierto que en determinados pasajes se hace un poco cuesta arriba. Si Shelfari me dejara la daría un 3 y 1/2, pero no puedo decir que me encantara. En cualquier caso, recomendable.”

  “Smart, sexy, futurist gold. Distraction is one of those cyberpunk satires that are almost scary, because they aren't so far fetched that you can't imagine it happening. The characters are at once realistic and absurd (much like real people), the protagonist more so in both categories. This story was fun to read, and the finish was more than a little surprising.”
