Product Description

Product Description
In Vancouver in 2036, people are tired of the rain. They're willing to give up a lot for guaranteed sunshine, a life with no wasted hours. A life free of crime and disease. A life that ends when you want it to, not when some faceless entity decides it's your time. Those who don't buy in the poor, the old, the paranoid have to watch as their loved ones, their friends, and their jobs leave the city. They have to watch as the latest prestige technology, Self, changes everything not just the world but humanity itself. On the bright side, the rents have dropped. And in several unexpected ways, resistance is growing. This fascinating work of fiction tells what can happen when the cyberworld becomes more important than the real world.

2.0 out of 5 stars Witty But a Little Clueless, 26 Jan 2008
By Ford Ka (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
If you are afraid of virtual reality which will take over our world, you may get some food for thought in this novel. Munroe presents a world in 2036 when everyone wants to get transferred to virtual reality Frisco (ex San Francisco sadly destroyed by an earthquake) leaving their bodies behind. Munroe has some interesting ideas but he apparently likes them so much that instead of moving the plot forward dwells on them for far too long. In effect they don't really come together to make a real novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Everyone in silico, 8 Jul 2003
By Kai Mitchell (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
OK have just finished this and it was good!. Not in the page turning up till 4am having to finish it good - but lots of good ideas, has the feel of one of those slightly too trendy to be sci fi books. Whilst reading this I was constantly reminded of works from both Neal stepheneson and Jon C Grimwood, - that whole energetic future of corporations and mass advertising.

All in all it was a good yarn and I would recommend it to a fan of this genre. Scifi does have a tendency to use the same old tired plots in fancy new packaging so any influx of ideas is a bonus. If your looking for someone to follow up nuromancer I would recommend something by Richard Morgan, but if your more into ideas then frantic paced action check this out!
