River of Gods: Very Good
June 10th, 2006Well, I knocked another book off my to-be-read list today: River of Gods, by Ian McDonald. This is highly recommended. It’s sci-fi of the first order, a book that balances action, ideas, and character development through 600 wonderful pages. The plot focuses on a few months about forty years from now as the world is learning to adapt to increases in technology (or the new technology is learning to adapt to us…) while reliving the same nightmare of balkanization and international politics that has been going on since the beginning of recorded history.
Next up are some non-fiction books, I’m afraid, that aren’t even on my list since they are work-related.

Glad to hear it gets a high recommendation. I hope to start it tomorrow and need to have it done by the time we go on vacation on the 23rd.
Work-related books? Ugh.
