Review title: Illuminati Redux?
Product review: I like John Shirley as a writer, I really do. I will emphasize that I prefer his horror writing, as I am not much of a science fiction fan. So, reading the back of the book, I was expecting something that managed to be nasty and thought-provoking at the same time. But to me this book smacked of Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminati books, which meant it definitely was not to my taste. It even had a bit of Wilson's slapdash quality to it, although for the most part I considered it well-written.
