Negative Positive
Title: A Reminder
Review: This story has been told in many guises, and its truth remains. Icarus reaches for the sun; man aspires to godhead; Adam eats of the tree of knowledge. Eddie Spinola discovers MDT-48 and makes a Faustian agreement with that post-Christian Satan that is his own dark side. Power, greed, and an insatiable need for recognition (attention) fuel his rise and inevitable fall. Classical structure assists the narrative as the voices of the Greek chorus (Melissa, his father, Van Loon, his good angel) whisper to him throughout. In his hubris, he doesn?t hear. This book is a good telling of an old tale. It?s predictable, but we can use a reminder of this sort now and then.
