I remember back in the days before the Internet was public, and it was a bunch of interconnected research networks for global Universities and the Defense Department, we used to sit around the think tank and have discussions that reminded me of this book. Everything was bleeding edge, and full of possibilities for changing the world.That's what this book is about, using technology to completely reform the infrastructure of the globe. It is a fascinating concept and a very entertaining novel. The characters are a bit flat for my taste, it is the technology that is really the star here. No character goes through any significant emotional development. What changes is the technology and that allows for a wholly new world.Very provocative!
