Mindstar Rising by Peter F. Hamilton

4.0

Hey, I might as well document 2 books instead of the 1 "Mandel Files", yes?

Considering the writing was from 1989 (published in '93), the ideas were quite prescient. A good story with interesting and complete characters. So, the global warming thing in 1989 was actually fun, compared to the propaganda nowadays even in fiction. For some reason, the author thinks the time in the story is 2030. I suppose there hints of that time, if you feel like calculating. In the 2011 forward, he thinks he missed the political mark. Well, there are now similarities in the USA, if not in the UK. The PSP seems a lot like where the Democratic party is headed these days. Well I will leave it at that. Enjoy!
