Very enjoyable, Neal Stephenson-influenced Iron Man story. Digital consciousnesses, cyber terrorist cells, software battles. Influences of Snow Crash and, somewhat, The Diamond Age. Also a touch of Elektra: Assassin there, with the large and amoral SHIELD. It did a good job of tapping into the context of the Marvel Universe while still feeling unique and unencumbered. Good fun.

Iron Man does cyberpunk. There were a few good moments of humor in this, but for the most part my reaction was similar to what it (sadly?) is for most examples of that genre: huh? Sadly, this level of persistent, rapid-fire technobabble makes my poor, inadequate wetware brain hurt.
