Title: A Science Fiction Mystery
Review: In an era approximately 400 years in the future ubiquitous nanotechnology has made many items free or very cheap, and lifespans and health have been improved much. But are people truly happier with what technology has provided, more happy than before? And what about artistic creation and the sense of beauty, how has technology impacted it, and have most people lost the creative talent and instead rely on technology for creativity? These are some of the issues L.E. Modesitt Jr. raises in this fascinating novel while writing about the lives of five disparate individuals whose lives become intrinsically connected. The plot is very complex, with many characters involved, there is a mystery to be solved here. However, at times I thought the reading was a bit dull, one star off for that.
Is the review positive or negative?
