The Future is Drawing Closer
5 stars
A gripping cyberpunk thriller. Reading it, I was struck by how much little of it is actually "science fiction" in the sense of describing technologies that don't exist yet. I'm pretty sure the "bullets" described don't exist, but much of the rest could just be a story of the world as it is right now.
And of course, the "on the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog" subplot has been a reality for decades, and is masterfully executed here.
