An incredibly clever depiction of a frightening, but all too plausible near future. The author deftly swaps styles, utilizing dry political reports, email exchanges, blogs, television shows and human interest stories to gradually unfold the events of the year 2032. The reader receives a wide range of viewpoints from citizens in every walk of life, making it feel like you have really fast-forwarded into the future and are a fly on the wall getting a privileged insight into the world of the future - warts and all. There are some scenes of beautiful satirical comedy, some decidedly disturbing scenes, and as in real life, some political treatise which you may find a bit formal in style, particularly at the start. But PLEASE persevere past the first few paragraphs, otherwise you are going to miss a real treat. A "must read" for all true sci-fi fans.
