Titan by John Varley
5.0
This was a re-read for me in 2009. I'd previously read the trilogy back in my early 20s. I enjoyed it a lot the second time around.
A volume of Varley's short stories called "Blue Champagne" was one of the very first books I ever bought with money from my first job, and I've always liked Varley's early mind-blowing novels. He is excellent at writing women characters with depth, and the main character, Sirocco Jones, is a delight.
So many weird and wacky ideas and world-building in this novel! I really don't understand why Varley isn't revered by more people in the same vein as Asimov, Bradbury, and Philip Jose Farmer.
