jeffreyabI read this one because it was the only novel nominated for the 2005 Hugo Award I did not get to read before I voted.
This was mainly because I ordered a copy for the library and it only arrived in October 2006 a bot late for voting.
It is a good book. It flows well the characters are interesting and the settings as well. The plot seems to be more of a travelogue/history than a beginning, middle and end sort of story.
The most intriguing concept was that we will become mere extensions of our online memories and personality software emulating programs. Wearable computers will start this but even know I see it in myself. I know alot of information but give me access to the Internet and I know much more. Computers can also serve to jog our memories even now, reminding us of upcoming events, recording TV shows we might like.
Charles should be interesting to listen to when he comes to Penguicon this Spring.
