Summary: An eerie science fiction audiobook
Comment: Innerverse by John DeChancie is an eerie science fiction audiobook (5 hours, 4 cassettes) drama about a nation, once part of the United States, now utterly controlled by nanotechnology that absolutely dictates the will of its zombie-like citizens. DeChancie story is brought to life in a full-cast dramatization presentation that offers the listeners a frightening glimpse of the logical extension of totalitarian power, and a powerful dark dystopia of technology at its worst, Innerverse is a captivating listening experience and highly recommended for science fiction fans and community library collections.

Summary: Brilliant novel of ideas blended with action/adventure.
Comment: This is a stunningly brilliant and original novel that goes far beyond Orwell in exploring utopia and the people who try to build them. Thrilling action and suspense dovetail nicely with fascinating philosophical exchanges between characters. DeChancie never fails to entertain, and this novel is especially rewarding on many levels. Ignore any bonehead reviews to the contrary. This book deserves your attention.

Summary: Trashy, yet intellectually dead...Give it up, dont read it.
Comment: Ok, I have to be objective here, and not just rip the crap out of this book, which would be easy to do. First, it has no premise other than bashing the stuffing out of nanotechnology, a technology that I have come to really respect and admire. The hero is your classic neo-schizoid-male-loner-demon-plauged-loser-type. In other words a cardboard cuttout. I had high hopes for this book because of my interest in nano, but it became clear to me that this author had probably read one of those blurbs about new technology and said to himself: "ooh, this looks like a good thing to debunk in a novel." A very poorly written one at that. The premise is very Orwellian, with large clumsy dollops of 1984 splattered carelessly throughout the charred ruin of a plot. It can be summed as thus: Man, haunted by past, goes on secret mission, finds girl, gets girl, defeats global plot, kills mad scientist, has barbecue. A stunned herring could think of a better plot. For all those folks who read this as their first intro to nano, do not let this turn you off. READ THE DIAMOND AGE. It is like comparing a Bently to a matchbox car.
