The curse of the missing half star strikes again. Calling this book a three would be a disservice, but it's not quite entertaining enough to be a full four.

What did you have for breakfast three Mondays ago? Was it raining that day? Can you remember?

When I read Trouble and Her Friends, I was forcibly reminded of what Helen Merrick says about it in The Secret Feminist Cabal (while thinking for a moment that it was my own brilliant insight), something along the lines that women made cyberpunk very much about bodies (sorry, Helen, for badly paraphrasing)....
Looking for a new author, found this gem in the SciFi section of B&N. After reading the 1st page, was completely hooked. This is the sequel to a previous book titled Signal To Noise. If you are looking for scifi that is completely outside the realm of standard scifi, if you think scifi is just about robots...

Heathern, the sequel to Ambient and Terraplane, has been praised by William Gibson as a "savage urban baroque informed by a penetrating humanity ... his best so far!" Tautly written and appallingly funny, Heathern is a dystopian tale of corporate combat and media warfare in the fading years of our century.

What began as an interesting premise was then diluted into a very dull fix-up of interrelated stories all taking place in a world where the crisis at Three Mile Island was not averted and the plant melted down taking out a good chunk of Pennsylvania with it.

| ISBN | 0553762672 |
