Negative Positive
Title: Uncertain voice
Review: This book seemed to be a reprise of Golden age science fiction, in a world where technology is the saviour of all, people are ethical, honest, hard working, updated with a dash of cyberpunk mentality, with hard edges, drugs, lies and the accompanying details.Unfortunately, the visions did not meld well, leaving the story as a mishmash of ideas, with various sub-plots spawning off in various directions, and seemingly never wrapping up properly. In addition, I don't feel that sufficient detail is given to the elements of the story to make them believable. There are too many glossed over details to draw the reader in properly.The main plot (at least it seems the main plot) itself represents an interesting idea - the mind pool - but it is lost in the noise.Nevertheless, it is a somewhat interesting story, and a unique vision. It's just very hard to read.
