Title: Lacks Originality
Review: I did not buy this book, rather, I borrowed it from a workplace "book swap rack" and I am glad that I did. The writing is fair enough, but the lack of originality really drains your enthusiasm. Science fiction is a tough medium to write in as most of the truly great ideas have already been explored, but it's not an excuse to re-work works from Philip K Dick ("Do Androids Dream of Electric Sleep?", i.e. the movie Total Recall) and Stanley Clarke ("2010, The Year We Make Contact"). Do yourself a favor and read those two books...and skip this one.
