A review by b_loy
Glasshouse by Charles Stross
5.0
Stross does an excellent job looking at present day society from a 3rd person perspective. It makes for a great commentary on who we are, why some people do the things they do, and makes for some good humor (like when the women are trying to figure out what a "husband" is).
After a while I started to wonder where the science fiction was. Usually people are using futuristic gadgets and futuristic things all the time in a science fiction book. It was in the beginning, then only in the main character's dreams and memories for most of the rest of the book.
