Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Schismatrix Plus by Bruce Sterling



Lindsay is a rebel, maybe.  He  is exiled from his home and proceeds to carve a place for himself in the shattered solar system that is now man's home.

The establishment of extra-terrestrial Balkan states divided by philosophic differences based on  genetic manipulation or machine technology is the underpinning of this novel.  The extension of life by either genetic manipulation or mechanical means leads to conflict even within families.

To say Lindsay is confused world be a gross understatement.  His birth as a Mech but his training as a Shaper seems to have infused a basic schizophrenic behavior pattern in regards to his "diplomatic" approach to his environments.

The book never really captured my interest.


This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
