It's escapist sci-fi I know, but even escapist sci-fi gives you interesting ideas to think about.
It's basically a detective story set in the 23rd century. The main twist is that human consciousness is now stored in a cortical 'stack' in the base of the skull, allowing your consciousness to be 'resleeved' into another body should you ever meet an unfortunate demise
It's a winner of the Philip K. Dick award, & seeing as how I love his work, it was a no-brainer. It's pretty good, I just haven't had a lot of time to read lately. I've got some other lighter reads lined up for the summer(Child of Fortune, Fountains of Paradise), but I do find myself missing a meatier read from time to time. I plan on reading 'Taiko' by Eji Yoshinaka come fall, but I don't know if I'll be able to wait that long
Anyone else?
