I did not like this book. I had a hard time following the action and reconciling it with what I knew of the plot from the back cover and the online blurbs. It felt like it was a series of loosely connected vignettes with a mildly interesting premise that sort of tied it all together. It had sex scenes which felt gratuitous. The characterization was practically non-existent. Ultimately, it felt like a pretentious attempt at cyberpunk crossed with the surreal neo-sci fi of the late sixties and early seventies. It won the Nebula Award in 1991 and was nominated for a few others.
