Today at lunch, I finished reading Bruce Sterling's The Zenith Angle. This was a rather unusual book. Starting out on the morning on September 11, 2001, a computer scientist finds his world changed. After the day's events, he begins to work for the government.
Basically, this book starts out as a cypher-punkish exploration into computer technology, bridges over to a government paper chase (รก la some kind of John Grisham novel) and ends up on the Tom Clancy side of the house with a black ops special forces kind of activity. All featuring the same computer scientist. While it's an affable read, I can't particularly recommend it to anyone.
