Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a Sam Spade style future crime novel set in the refreshing distinctive world of Arabic North Africa in the not too distant future. Some very interesting characters and quirky pieces of technology- all with an Arabic twist. I'd recommend it most highly to any fans of William Gibson et al. Jon Courtenay Grimwood has tried a similar setting more recently but with far less style in my opinion. There's three novels in this Effinger series and sadly he's now no longer with us, so they'll be no more.

Quite simply this is one of the best books I have ever read, and I have read hunderds. I loved this book it was first brought as a present for my birthday. I spent years trying to find the sequal, I went all the way to america and looked for it. In the days before amazon. Thats how good this book is. I can't think of a single bad thing, the story is exciting, the use of hardware imaginitive and well thought out. Even the characters are engaging.
The plot line is a murder mystery, the out come wasn't all that predictable and it kepts you wondering all the way to the end. It also has one of the greatest characters in any book, and they are just a cab driver.
If you want some thing good then this book is more then worth a look. So good is it that I even hunted down a first edition :-)

Gravity Fails is an excellent cyberpunk book. While it doesnt have any virtual world or metaverse, it does a healthy smattering of body augmentation, illicit substances, flawed characters and a detailed story line.
