See allWhile technically and artistically very competent the book lacks any meaningful purpose to draw the user in. The book is a slice of life that manages to bore the reader for a large portion of the book. The lack of a cohesive plot also ruins the entire purpose of the book. A small novella exploring the features of a sinking New York would have been better suited for this style.
Competent writing, fairly compelling story, kept me entertained. What is holding it back is that it is a mostly run of the mill robot/freedom/body hacking story, but fresh enough to sound original.
Excellently detailed novel that really satisfied my need for exquisite detail and scientifically accurate space physics (as far I could tell at least). The ideas in the novel (especially at the end) are breathtaking and beautifully rendered. Would certainly recommend to hard sci-fi fans.
I am a bit of a time travel sucker, and this book started out interesting and had a great middle... then kind of died a quiet death near the end. The premise was good, the characters were interesting overall, and the sci-fi was mostly unique and interesting... until the wheels starting falling off the story at the end.
