Title: Incredibly prescient
Review: While reviews for this book were ho-hum when it first came out, The Jericho Iteration deserves a re-reading in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Just as the federal government uses earthquake-ravaged St. Louis for its experiments in controlling and containing civilian populations, look at the disaster that continues in New Orleans to see how on the mark Steele was in this book written long before the levees were breached. Ten months after Katrina hit and the public schools are closed, the city government is trumped by federal agencies, and the local population slides into despair rather than action. While the sfnel element of a networked AI stands out from today's nightmare, Steele has always had an excellent eye toward political extrapolation. Give this one a read, or a re-read if you glossed over it.
