CHI : A NOVEL OF VIRTUAL REALITY

Rating:
Summary: Chi extends onward from Rim and Mir
Review: Alexander Besher continues to create a paradigm shift in human reality with his vision of a new global cyberworld. Extending the Internet metaphor to a decidedly non-Western view of life, Besher takes us on a fun romp with a very serious undertone. Chi does not have the power of Rim or Mir, but the story is a good ending for a very complex vision. Reminded me of the Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson, Ian McDonald's Scissors Cut Paper Wrap Stone, and The Fortunate Fall of Raphael Carter. Read this trilogy and expand your horizons. Can't wait for his next work.

Summary: a powerhouse read
Review: I had not read Rim or Mir, the preceding two novels of the loosely-tied series, but I was in no means at a loss for a base to read on. Besher utilized awesome description to define his characters, the interractions between them, and the events catalyzed by them. Weaving sensuality, pseudo-religious undertones, and an overriding sense of wonderment into his epic tale, Besher captivated me.

Summary: boy-girl and the fat man
Review: the book draws you in with a transexual and a 800-lb chinese drug dealer and his "right hand" in the begining. what's more intriquing than that?
