Add a CommentMy first reaction to collaborations like this is to look for the seams. Having read some of Stross', "Laundry" series I was familiar with his style, the relentless parade of ideas, and humorous bits. Not so with Doctorow; I have read his n.f. on the web. I abandoned the one novel of his I have picked up.No matter; the seams are barely discernible. Enjoyed the book because of the ideas, representation of the crappy future on Earth.The rest of humanity has uploaded themselves to the inner system, sending Care packages to earth. These Care goodies have to be judged before they can be released generally, and Huw, the atavistic protagonist of the novel, is tasked with sitting on such a jury. And we're off.
