Distraction by Bruce Sterling

I didn't realize that I had read this one before, from the library at least a year ago. It is sort of biopunk, but not particularly revolutionary, either in content or within the context of the story. Things are nifty, but not exciting. Also, this story doesn't have a "and they lived happily ever after because they were together, even if everything else sucked" or even a "at least they died together". It has a "it would never actually work" ending.

Some of the ideas are interesting, but I'm not sure it is worth the time to read five hundred thirty-two pages.

Pages: 532
