An early cyberpunkish novel that had a good concept, if nothing I hadn't heard before - people connecting wires into their heads for the latest fix, mind and memory manipulation, a dystopian future.
The story's divided up into two time periods, but the story of each mirrors each the other so perfectly that, by the time the big shocking reveal comes about, you already can guess what it's going to be. Still, it was a quick read, and well-written.
One thing I always like about Spider Robinson novels - he seems to really love the places that he writes about. Sure, some of the characters here have some unkind things to say about Halifax, but it's clear the author loves it, and that shines through the entire book.
