"Version Control is perhaps the strangest fictional work of appropriated voices and subjects. It’s set in a surreal near future — or several near futures — as well as in several pasts. Though issues of race play virtually no role in the stories, one character, an African-American physicist, recalls dropping out of a writing course because the professor thought he should be mining his heritage instead of inventing science fiction."

Though the first book really pulled me in at the end, the 2nd was just as boring as the beginning of the 1st.

It was just to slow for my taste.

I may try it again in the near future but i just couldn't get through it as of now.
