The Terminal Experiment

This is my third book by Sawyer. The first one I read, Hominids, won the Hugo in 2003. The second was Calculating God, nominated for several awards in 2001. This one won the Nebula for 1995. I liked it this book, even though it's the same kind of pop-sci fi as the first. It's really fast paced and easy reading. The plot isn't bad and it's not quite as soapy as the first. It also held up fairly well considering it was forecasting the evolution of PCs and the internet sixteen years in the future, which is now ten years in the past. Primarily, the tech talk isn't too clunky. Overall, I found this a very entertaining book.
