Title: Interesting Look at the Future of the Net
Review: In "Technogenesis" Syne Mitchell does what I wouldn't have thought possible--she's created character-based cyberpunk. Her Jasmine Reese is conflicted and capable and Mitchell's look at a future Net in which an AI uses people's minds as, well, human resources is chilling.The book's heroes (if you can even use that word) have a touch of larceny and the villains (ditto) turn out to have good reasons for their apparent villainy.This is Mitchell's second book (her first, "Murphy's Gambit," is a reworking of classic space opera) and she has a flair for fast-paced action and fluid prose.An author to watch.
