What Chandra said.

Decent. A bit short though.

Trite.

Too much writing, too little code. It does not tie together any of its themes and is derivative of its sources.

It's on parahumans.wordpress.com. 30 arcs. 22 books. 1.75 million words. And I read it in a week. My brain is full.

It starts off slow, but by the time it gets to the final act, it's like Chekov's orchestra.

One of the most frustratingly insider views inside occupy that I've had the misfortune to read. The problems with occupy get shoved under the hood, and the demands for "activism" mean nothing by themselves... But instead of an examinations or an explanation, there's a list of talks and "prominent figures." Occupy itself barely gets a lock in before it is tied into the writer's philosophy.

The wired article by Quinn Norton is much better. Read that instead.

I really had a hard time with this book. There's a problem that comes with books that promise "action" but have to set up the world beforehand... it's easy to stuff the book full of irrelevant crap about weapons systems and neural circuitry. Every time someone thinks, it's not just thinking -- instead it's "processing with d-written neurons." It's tedious, especially when it becomes clear that the first half of the book is near completely irrelevant to the rest of the plot.

I skipped everything until I found the word "dragon" and then started reading the final 100 pages of the book, and then it was okay again.

It's a young adult book. I am so embarrassed.
