About this listen
A diamond-hard, visionary new SF thriller. Nailed-down cyberpunk a la William Gibson for the 21st century meets the vivid dark futures of Al Reynolds in this extraordinary debut novel.
With Earth abandoned, humanity resides on Station, an industrialised asteroid run by the sentient corporations of the Pantheon. Under their leadership a war has been raging against the Totality - ex-Pantheon AIs gone rogue.
With the war over, Jack Forster and his sidekick, Hugo Fist, a virtual puppet tied to Jack's mind and created to destroy the Totality, have returned home.
Labelled a traitor for surrendering to the Totality, all Jack wants is to clear his name, but when he discovers two old friends have died under suspicious circumstances he also wants answers. Soon he and Fist are embroiled in a conspiracy that threatens not only their future but all of humanity's.
But with Fist's software licence about to expire, taking Jack's life with it, can they bring down the real traitors before their time runs out?

I shouldn't have, as this is an engrossing thriller set in a far future no humans live on Earth anymore.
Narration was good but I had to drop playback speed to x1.5 to understand the narrator.
Enjoyed it.

There are elements of Pinocchio weaved intp the noir story, and it's a funny book.
Highly recommended.

Now, I'm not a prude and will accept it if it fits the character but here it is just too much of it. It became tiresome and started distracting from the story.
doesn't exactly crash Heaven
