This is the final book in a Trilogy about a nanotech disease that alters time and space. I know that this book is extremely obscure among Americans but I can't help but get the impression that the creators of Mass Effect 3 were heavily inspired by this book. Not to say it's a bad book, it's just that I couldn't help but notice many parallels between the stories. If you want to purchase this book I would suggest getting the dead Trilogy bound Edition which includes all three of the books together in one, even though the bound Edition gets rid of some of the original artwork and side notes from this book which is very unfortunate. A strong recommendation for cyberpunk fans who are willing to read a book filled with satirical misogyny.

these are great. the movies would be terrible. i don't know how he made these so tasteful, it could have gone wrong so quickly. I like Gibson and W.S Burroughs this met right in the middle. brand new lived in universe with cryptic musings on what it all means. so cool.

So disapointing. Although I loved everything else by Calder, he took his poetic style just a bit too far in this one, thoroughly loosing the already slim narrative thread that existed in his other books. I really didn't get past the first few chapters. It might pass at a weird perverse poetry readiing, but as a novel it is El-Crappo.
