Title: Panzer Boy meets Dirt Girl
Product review: I listened to this on books on tape (MP3 actually). I missed the whole cyberpunk genre growing up for some reason since I was all over Sci-fi in general. I liked the complexity of this novel although the narrator giving history and explanation was a little annoying. I think figuring that out for yourself is much more fun. Also the metaphors got more and more divorced from reality and distracting. The structure of the novel was predictable, but didn't distract from my overall enjoyment of the story.That said, the novel had a lot of action, gun fights, and cyber body modification. I also liked the chapter intros that featured future advertisements. Modern body...modern body...modern body! It reminds me of the weird fascist commercials in Starship Troopers movie. The details of the future disutopian finance and economy are very interesting and in some ways the center of the novel. Its new to me, but I'd put it in the oldie, but goodie pigeon hole in your cyberpunk library.
