A book long Deus ex Machina that is boring and forgettable, infused with oriental fetish and technical terms that want to make it sound smart, but don't scratch the surface. Characters are flat and without personality–they go along to whatever they are told to do, with no personal goals, no drives or interests. The AI is boring too. Heinlein's AI in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is waaaay more captivating and interesting.
