Void Star

Very Gibsonesque. Almost a follow up to neuromancer.

Good well-rounded characters, excellent CP atmosphere, ok story... but my god the countless useless words, the endless long winding phrases going nowhere, the (sooo many) useless pages... the boredom!

I gave this book a three, but equally it could have been two or four stars. Well written, and some interesting ideas about AI , but there was barely a story there, and the characters were shallow.

The POV skips between reality and a kind of AI simulation, and it is hard at times to work out which one you are reading about, resulting in confusion, and a certain amount of irritation. Perhaps that was the point and I'm missing it
