Wired, Robin Wasserman (Simon Pulse, 2010) (a.k.a. Torn)
Wired is the last installment of the Skinned Trilogy by Robin Wasserman, and serves as a solid conclusion to the saga of Lia Kahn. As with the other volumes in this series, Wired did not shy away from hard scenes or uneasy topics. It remained a good read throughout. However, while I did enjoy this volume, and it does bring to a close all the varying threads of the series, it did not quite live up to its potential for me. Even so, it is a good book and well worth the read if you enjoyed the other two books in the series. Continue reading

Pattern Recognition, William Gibson (Penguin Putnam, 2003). Digital Edition.
Pattern Recognition by William Gibson is a step outside the usual for the father (or at least Godfather) of Cyberpunk. Set in the post-911 world, it includes fewer elements of technology than most Tom Clancy books. Instead, it is a mystery novel that plays upon Gibson’s superb ability to play upon mass-market trends and consumerism. To that end, it has the byzantine feel of his cyberpunk works, but is firmly set in now. An excellent espionage mystery who use of the superficial gives it depth. For an indepth review go to http://www.sophyanempire.wordpress.com Continue reading
