This is second work I have read by this author to date.  I intend to read more.  These are so novel and interesting to an old unsaavy (techy speaking) gal.Face time is not required in Mr. Wailing's worlds for mundane or ordinary tasks.  In fact, facetime seems to impede interface time (device usage) and is done begrudgingly (at least by this MC).  Social niceties seem near drudgery in this fascinating conceptual world Wailing leads us through.  To further ease the burden upon all, AI has reached proportions that make procreation (seeming) the only impetus for humans to interact due to the lengths that the "autos" manage to go.  Although, who knows what the future holds...Again, as with the last, I found the devices (plot wise) plausible and relatable - even for my lack of any saavy related to tweeters, hisspace, herspace, facespace, google circles (her, him, us, friends, acquaintences, foes, family, linkedhere, branchedthataway, etc.  (I DO have facebook ;) - but that be it for this lass) .Short story long:Gal firmly ensconced in her world and happily moving along alone (for the most part) .  Out with pals and headed home to manage her exhorbanent amount of autocreated world work when she espies herself on a beach holding hands.  A quick glimpse at her lifeline shows some wonky data has been posted.  While trying to correct the error her world becomes chaotic as her co-pilot (auto device) decides she wants to be head pilot.  And then?  Gets wild and you will have to read to find out just how far the AI enviorment can go with Mr. Wailing at the wheel...Recommend author.Christine
