• Cutting Edge by Jeffrey S. Savage (2001)

  [5/10]

  "Savage had high aspirations for his first novel, but through inexperience missed some of the opportunities that would have made Cutting Edge a sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat page turner."

• Difference Engine, The by William Gibson, Bruce Sterling (1991)

  [7/10]

  "An exciting story that also has lots of food for thought."

• Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson (1992)

  [7/10]

  "Stephenson smoothly conflates religion, linguistics, and programming into his storyline. Obviously, he did a lot of research for Snow Crash and much of that research appears in large blocks of exposition. I found the information interesting, but readers who like steady action will probably dislike the information dumps."
