Title: Cyber-schlock - with a few good ideas
Product review: A largely predictable "chase" spec-fic book - with a sprinkling of original-ish ideas to keep it going in the long, dry middle.First, the bad. If you're up on your Greek mythology, you'll know the entire plot by page 7. In "Matrix-like" or "Stephen-King-esque" style, the main characters have terribly telegraphic names. The protagonist is named "Cassandra," for example, so it's not too much of a surprise when we discover she's forever making predictions that no-one believes... unfortunately they're all that obvious.There are, however, some neat sci-fi ideas contained here, and since several of them are quite a lot of fun, interest is somewhat maintained.A decent enough novel for a quick summer read.
