My Review            :

This was the “Blue Print” for every Dot Com in the height of the bubble–the internet’s future as told through a twisting Sci-Fi Thriller. Words like Avatar, Bimbo Box (Mini Van) were coined here. This is a “Must Read” for every technologist. Neal was a definite UNIX Admin. The internet cult site “Second Life” was created from this.
