Title: Serling has written much better books...
Review: how seriously can you take a book when feirce political rivals allow eachother grandstanding monolouges for not paragraphs but PAGES on end. the endless monolouges even interupt time critical action sequences. I have read everything Sterling has ever published as well as most of his cyberpunk contempararys' work. This book falls well short of his usual high mark. It was not the subject or the characters... the delivery was abysmal. I feel bad that one of my favorite authors would fall down like this. cyberpunk authors seem to be dropping like flies. even the great Gibson's latest published work is about his love of watch collecting on e-bay. Thank god we still have Stephenson churning out great science fiction.
