Brilliant and disturbing,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Press enter (The Science Fiction Book Club collection) (Hardcover)
I have been reading SF for over 40 years and this is one of my top 5 most memorable books. It leaves a very strong impression!
I read this book many years ago and am now re-reading it. It left a very profound impression on me due to the superb character study and the excellent SF concept of the telephone/computer network becoming self aware. While the underlying technology in the story is now very dated (acoustic dial-up phone modems and floppy disks) it nonetheless translates well to present day (2011). This is mostly due to the 2 principal characters and the way that Varley draws you into their lives though rich back stories. This is a taut psychological drama that is very dark and quite disturbing on many levels, yet you feel compelled to read it. Press enter to read more... ;)
