Roy Ostrom has really done a great job in pulling together many important issues of our time-could be the book of the year-
Rating: 5 / 5
This writer is no Tom Clancy, but then how many are. The book provides a major service by pulling the information together in a more readable format than a text book filled with facts, and yet it is filled with facts. It covers some of how we got to where we are, and what is wrong.
More to the point, it offers a very concrete suggestion as to what to do. So many books content themselves with crticizing the current situation, not offering alternatives.
This is worth reading.
Rating: 4 / 5
The book uses the vehicle of a fictional plot to convey an underlying warning. Sometimes you see this in other contexts, like warning about terrorists using the Internet to attack refineries.
Unfortunately, the book’s quality of writing is dreary and plodding. This is quite separate from whether you might agree with the “factual” underpinnings. The characters are cardboard; very hard to identify with any. They are just hastily thrown across the pages as empty vessels, with minimal embellishment, to move the plot along.
Also annoying is the preachy tone. A holier than thou message that really rankles. The pedagogy ends up trashing the plot.
If you want to enjoyably read a technothriller, look for Tom Clancy. To make matters worse, Ostrom’s book lists for $19.95. You can get a new Clancy paperback for much less.
