  Nightmarish depiction of a society controlled through artificial incentive schemes. Also contains some wonderful weirdness related to the self, the body and other minds.

  My thoughts

  While this book was sometimes difficult to read, it was a fascinating look at identity and society - what makes you "you" - if one's in a different body, is one a different person? Robin/Reeve and friends discover the truth about the "Glasshouse" in very interesting ways.

  Weird insight into post-singularity culture. People are stored as memories and uploaded into bodies. Fascinating view of what such a society may be.
