Really simplistic writing as far as science fiction goes... but I guess it was good to turn the ol noggin off and not think for this one.
Also, if this book contained one more fake death, I was about to fake my own death! There was at least 1 fake death per chapter, sometimes 2 or 3. Some characters fake died 3 or 4 times. It was inane.
Lastly, comparing post-human brain functions to things like double-clicking a folder... really? That's just lazy, Mr. Naam.
1.5 stars for the story, 1.5 for the subject matter, post-humanism in a cyberpunk setting.
