My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was an honestly fun ride. A modern take on an old series of ideas, featuring cold sleep, long space travel, murder, AI, and virtual natures--(multiple kinds).
But here's the fun part: Robinson writes well. He just sticks to having a wild time and dragging us along with some great characters, decent reveals, a bit of horror, anguish, acceptance, and then even wonder. As a SF, I can't really ask for much more. As a novel, it's just FUN and easy.
There's a lot of good that can be said about having just that. Of course, having a great novel that throws us head-first into (view spoiler) is a major hook.
Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to DM requests. I think it's about time I get some eyes on them.
