A review by captaincymru
Fairyland by Paul J. McAuley

3.0

I've seen this book listed as Cyberpunk, and biopunk. Both of these apply I think. The world's dsytopian and people lose themselves in the Net or mind-bending viruses. The first two-thirds of the novel are better, set in London, Paris, and Disneyland Paris. The book loses its way some what in the last stretch with characters and locations being thrown at you from all sides. But it has an excellent and evocative atmosphere, from London baking under global warming and the wilds of Albania.
