It’s mid-nineties cyberpunk. Rather more convoluted and odd than many of its kin.

It’s mid-nineties cyberpunk. Rather more convoluted and odd than many of its kin.
Quite a thick plot, lots of characters, many plot twists and more world-building in a single book than you can shake your nanobots at. Also, if you're interested in a fictionalized primer (ha!) on Turing machines, this is the book you're looking for.
