Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
A dystopian Manhattan of the next century is the setting for this tough, gritty sf debut featuring an agoraphobic salvage artist who uses virtual reality to connect her with the machines that face the world in her stead. Part cyberpunk, part mystery, Mixon's first novel introduces a lesbian heroine whose life is made up of second-hand encounters until reality comes calling with a vengeance. The author's razor-sharp prose catapults this story beyond the bounds of genre. Recommended for most sf collections.

Glass Houses is fabulous,
By
This review is from: Glass Houses (Mass Market Paperback)
I first read this serialized in Analog, and it is one of my
all time favorite science fiction stories. One cannot help but empathize with the heroine. I admit that I am partial to the story because the climactic scenes take place not far from where I grew up, so it is easy for me to visualize what is going on. Still, the dark picture of New York City in the future really sucks you into the story.

If you liked GIbson's Neuromancer, you'll like Glass Houses. Mixon has a gift for writing realistic characters who are compelling and believable. If you can find this book, I recommend you buy it.
