Cyberpunk! James Strickland delivers the classic elements in Looking Glass – a future United States now carved into different countries, powerful corporations, cyber space, techy jargon, decks, jacking in and action! The strength of this novel is not in offering something insightful and new – but rather in being an intelligent and fascinating recombination of science fiction/cyber punk ideas. If you are a fan of William Gibson‘s Sprawl Trilogy it is safe to say that this is a great read for the atmosphere and the action. A good diversion from the text book I am reading for my current class…

Note that in James Strickland’s comment on this post (below) he points out that there is another book in the same world: Irreconcilable Differences – which has now been added to my reading list…

Thanks for the nice review.
BTW, there is a second book in that world called Irreconcilable Differences, if you’re looking for more.
