I'm about a hundred or so pages into this lastest effort from Bruce
Sterling, and I love this book.

It is kind of a post-pre-millenium punk sort of thing so far
involving an exceptional cast of characters including Lech "Leggy"
Starlitz a marketing scammer working an all girl copy band called
G-7 (one from each country, extremely funny.)

While I wouldn't exactly call this transhumanist (at least not yet)
it is a terrific read, and employs alot of state of the art
thinking.

I think anyone who enjoys Bruce's previous works will love this
one.

I've been deliberatly setting this book down to avoid reading it
straight through.

Highly recommended.

Brian
