This novel kept me mildly interested all the way through, though I did keep stopping to read other more interesting looking works. There are lots of kidnappings, possible murders, people who are dead or maybe have faked their deaths, and the usual wrong side of the law hackers for hire. There are lots of pompous and initially opaque conversations, with people who want power and influence and for other people to stop playing god because it interferes with them playing god.
The main character has very few warm human relationships; mind you I can't blame him for breaking up with his histrionic girlfriend in the first chapter. Supposedly this book is about the problems of extended life and possible immortality (the population is much reduced after a series of possibly man made plagues). At the end the main character decides to change his life and career path drastically, but to what we don't know. This book was mildly interesting, but not fun.
