Summary: Rise of the Tecnoshaman
Review: Another book that I picked up after reading through the Matrix 2.0 sourcebook (The other being Psychotrope). The story revolves around a young man newly inducted into the Otaku ranks. While significantly older than most Otaku, Babel's powers have not waned. Though not directly mentioned by name in this book, the AI Deus is present and is responsible for Babel's transformation.

Summary: One of the more interesting SR novels
Review: Boston 2059, a new type of shaman awakens with no memory in a back alley, paralyzed and being 'collected' by freelance body part bootleggers. After barely escaping, 'Babel' is snatched again and again by 'friends' who want to use him and his newly awakened abilities. Because Babel is not an ordinary mage. He is one of the first Techno-shaman. His is not the power to call or control the spirits of the elements, but the 'spirits' within the Matrix. And with an almost magical control of anything within the Matrix, is the potential control, or destruction, of any or all of the Megacorps now in control of the world..Another cool Shadowrun entry.

Summary: Renraku just messed with the wrong technoshamen!
Review: Enter the world of the Otaku! Meet Bable, a fast rising member in the Otaku community who awakens one day with total amnesia! The book is the story of Bable finding his past, told in first person POV, that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time! Stephen Kenson has created another gem in the Shadowrun world! A must have for any fan of Decking or the Matrix.

Review: Not only do you get insight into the Otaku, but backround on the reciently concluded Corporate War (ya, like it's over. . .), and apperances by a fair number of the "movers and shakers" of the SR universe. This book also repairs some of the flaws of Black Madonna. Oh, and that. . .personage. . .from B.M. should definately have known better than to mess with Lofwyr's corporate computer system (I guess ancient elves never learned to Never Deal with a Dragon).
