The story so far. I`m in chapter 4 of "Infoquake". An enjoyable romp through relations to reality and the potentialities within. It hasn`t got the panicky edge of "Capacity" though, and that makes its appeal lessen a little.
Natch is not for naught though! I really enjoy some parts. But whilst "Capacity" had me angry, scared and curious "Infoquake reads more like a technological band-aid for fantasy-readers than the conspiratorial science fiction novel i would have liked it to be. Fair enough. Let`s hope it doesn`t delve too far down into car chases in parts two and three, then i`d be saddened. If he manages to convey the impact of Multireal and the ways in which beings relate to such a concept then this might still be -very- enjoyable. Or it might vanish in a sea of "and then he cast uber-haxor 2.14 at the bad guy". Oh i hope i`m wrong about that.

It`s a book that grows if you have a nice IDM-background.
