One of my favorite books, ever. Blindsight is technically better, but Life During Wartime is just there. It sounds like the voice in the back of my head decided it would do better to write down what it was doing 20 years in the future in South America and then have it published.
I can't say too much about this book because so much of it can't be said. On my best days I wish I could write like Lucius Shepard, but for now I'm just glad I can read him.
