More About Fairyland
I didnt know this kind of shit was about to happen, Katrina hisses. This fucker has suckered us in and sold us out. For the second time. Katrina lapses into this kind of tough guy dialogue when shes stressed she learned English from virtual shoot-em-ups. Firelight flatters her face. She looks young and fierce and alert, a warrior-princess from the sagas in a black leather jacket, buckled biker boots and black leggings. All she lacks are mirrorshades. Paul McAuley, Fairyland
By far, the best cyberpunk book I've ever read. It explores the deep implications of the technology of its world, as every good sci fi book should. The tone is dark and a tad noir, and every mystery reveals deeper forces at work. The main character starts of creating drugs out of custom crafted viruses that deliver tailored psychoactive... On an elemental level this is hard science fiction, as billed, replete with detailed explanations of atomic biology that seem to do more for the author than the book he writes. Reading it, though, it feels a lot more in the vein of Thomas Harris and his Red Dragon than anything in my admittedly limited collection of sci-fi. A wholly... 2.5 stars. Great concept brought down by clunky prose, uneven and confusing pacing and plot, next to no character development or exploration of motivation, and distracting info dumps that still somehow manage to leave you confused.
