A splendid read!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tristan Palmer, publisher, UK<br \/>\nHere, I\u2019m just about to have a very belated breakfast of sourdough and marmite \u2013 an Ed breakfast as I recall. A great story by the way, very nicely modulated with very good action sequences interleaved with the provocative and the contemplative scenes. On which, I liked the local library (or, rather, I didn\u2019t) with only a few books on the shelves and those largely about fact-checking websites. It had a Gibsonesque feel to it, like when he first integrated cyberspace and, later, 3D printing into the life-worlds of all his characters. Altogether, the book is what we used to call a\u00a0rollicking read.
