Title: Wait for this novel in the 1/2 price used book store
Review: Like Gibson's "Idoru", Sterling's "Holy Fire" seriously needs some holy fire. What is this? Some post 20 century angst-soap opera-see Europe travel romp with a slap of the old cyberpunk paint brush?The innovations in this novel are far and few (enhanced talking dogs - nice touch) - the rejuvenation technique(s) almost a trival pretext for what seems to be a post-20th century remake of a Nathanel Hawthorne story: old person becomes young person and goes on European rutting expedition.I almost have the feeling Sterling is pandering to a certain politically correct crowd. Save your money and buy this novel in paperback at the 1/2 price book store.
