Ateli-weird

Is good!

I had a similar experience with both this and Snow Crash, where it was interesting to see how the worries of the time parallel things going on today. It’s far from a light read, though, just as a warning.

I’d considered reading the sequel, but after seeing how far apart the two are written (and reviews mentioning the irrelevance to the original), I’ve decided it’s not worth it for now.
