Question: Post-modern science fiction . Maybe I'm just not the right demographic for this novel, but I hated the beginning, tolerated the middle and put it down permanently near the end. The model is the Canterbury Tales of Chaucer, but I don't think it works. I just never got interested in the characters enough to care what happened to them and for me, the story--stories, really--never came into focus. I guess the New York Times Book Review should have tipped me off because they compare it to Frank Herbert's Dune and the Foundation series of Asimov, both of which, in my opinion have aged really badly.

Remeber the boggeyman your parents warned you about and you grew up to realize the boogeyman didn't exist? Well, same goes to the Hells Angels in regards to the outright idiotic lies that have long fueled media hype and lined the budgets of the most corrupt police forces in big cities across Canada and the U.S. At the end of a day, whether your a biker or an accountant, nobody likes a rat. Anyhow, save your money and get the [...] for the bigger picture
