I was reading this when Vernor passed away sadly. I enjoyed this book more than the first one in the series. But the first one is needed to explain what's happening in this book, otherwise it'd be much more confusing. This book reads like a high-tech noir novel, it's very mysterious. I thought it was fun, there were some slow parts, but not a bad read. I'll miss you, Vernor.
