We get some of the digital nirvana that people are uploading their bodies to, which is not particularly new, but then Watts layers on terrorists who are attacking targets both virtual and actual, and that is not developed. That's cool, and I generally like it when authors are ambitious, but in this case, it means that he mentions what seem like really interesting ideas, enough for their own entire book, that are just thrown out there and left. I wanted to like this book a great deal more than I did, but I ended up stubbing my toe on the distance between the author and his readers, the lack of exploration on the themes I did find interesting, and something that happened near the end that both baffled and upset me.Īs far as science fiction goes, Watts is trying to pack a whole lot of changes in human society into a fairly small number of pages. Unfortunately, they were few and far between. I really really tried with this book, but it was always a book that required that I slog through, trying to find snippets of enjoyment.
