Title: Not A Distraction
Review: Full disclosure: I put the book down after 90 pages. I'd like to tour Bruce Sterling's mind sometime; it must be one hell of a ride. But Distraction, although chock full of Sterling's usual future visions, doesn't work. By the time Oscar got around to confessing his origin to Greta I knew I'd had enough -- it just wasn't working for me. If you're looking for a compelling distraction, look elsewhere. Great ideas or not, it's still the story that matters. If you must have this book opt for the paperback and save a few bucks.
