I don't normally like Science fiction that relies heavily on tech to tell the story, but Doctorow handled it in such a way that the reader is cusious about the technology for a bit and then comes to understand it.
Another good story from Doctorow. He does not allow the wowness to distract from the story. Even so, I read these stories and wonder where these great ideas come from because I see them germinating in all the scifi I read lately. Maybe there is some common source that all these guys tap into, maybe they are just re-reading the same greats(Heinlein, Asimov).
When I really enjoy a book, I think about the characters constantly. I wonder about their problems. I think about what they could do differently. Even though I know they are fictional, darn it, I want their lives to go well. That was definitely the case with this book. I don't judge art, but I know what I like. And I liked this book.
