The Traveller

This is the closest thing I've found to razor-sharp vision of the present/future that Neal Stephenson and William Gibson have envisioned for decades. Imagine if Y.T. from [b:Snow Crash 830 Snow Crash Neal Stephenson http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1157396730s/830.jpg 493634] was a sword-wielding protector of a man who could cross the barriers between our world and parallel worlds? Now throw in heavy dose of Big Brother and super-surveillance or our hyper-connected “homeland security” post-9/11 workd and you have a vision of the dystopian reality of today through the eyes and imagination of John Twelve Hawks. Genius.Currently re-reading this as an audiobook. Fantastic!!!
