Summary: a novella which wears it's OS on its sleeve
Comment: PDU-1 is perhaps the first work of fiction written especially for the community of UNIX programmers, and hopefully they will enjoy it. Otherwise the plot is rather predictable and its pseudo-feminist doctrine derivative of _The Left Hand of Darkness_ and other SF of the seventies, with a little anti-government paranoia of the '90s mixed in. The prose is kind of klunky; what one might expect from an author whose other major credit is _F.E.Potts' Guide to Bush Flying; Concepts and Techniques for the Pro_, and the "dialogue" entirely didactic exposition. But then (alas), science fiction is rarely meant to be great literature.
Or maybe I just don't "get it;" I'm a Macintosh guy.
