I'm not sure if anyone read or enjoyed Jeff Sommers The Electric Chruch but he's come out with a sequel The Digital Plague. I'm only a few pages in, but I'm pretty psyched. I really enjoyed Electric Church, it was probably the best 'new' Cyberpunk book I've read in a long time.
It nails all the classic Cyberpunk tropes. The vast majority of society is being ground into the dust by a massive and all powerful 'system', no megacorps but that's ok, the System Security Officers are scary enough. Avery is a foul mouthed anti-hero, constantly running for his life. There's a computer geek, cybernetics, and lots and lots of shooting people in the face (though not always for money). |
