Negative Positive
Title: Farmville, anyone?
Review: After spending two months completely addicted to Mafia Wars, I have to laugh at the techies who reviewed this book and thought the "technical flaws" were too much to overcome. Written several years ago, the book is at the mercy of stale technology; I think we can give the author a pass on not predicting 4G technology and social networks.The premise, though, is inventive and the larger message of the book is one that great minds are seriously pondering. What will happen when the worldwide computer intelligence exceeds the worldwide human brainpower?While the author is probably not techno-geek enough to make the technology perfect, the suspense, the human failings, and the ultimate reality he paints raise questions that concern us all.I read this book when it first came out, and have watched the bookshelves in vain for further writing from this author. A good read, worth your time.
