this is one of those novels where every single character (and there are quite a few from many different cultural/social backgrounds) has each their complex hidden agenda which is slowly and meticulously revealed as the labyrinthine plot unfurls... REALLY curious where this goes

So far it feels like a streak of genius - it STARTS with a scene that is basically the ending of "Ghost in the Shell" or "Neuromancer" where the heroine sets free a superhuman AI (which ends up changing her into something not quite human) only to end in jail as a result, with the rest of the plot examining the large scale political and social consequences of all this in fine detail.

bought this at a science-fiction convention after hearing the author speak at a panel on how to write nonhuman intelligent characters - so far it seems VERY William GIbson inspired but goes in more depth with superhuman artificial intelligences and how they would realistically interact with people than Gibson did in his Sprawl Trilogy
