Ostensibly a thriller, it starts off feeling more like a travelogue about a westerner's first observations about Tokyo, then starts cooking with a nice, tight little plot about the planning of a terrorist attack - inspired by Aum Shinrikyo sarin gas attacks in '95. But the overall structure of the book is like a whirlpool, and soon everything speeds up, frantically and furiously, with crazy shit being tossed at your head around every corner - great big chunks of sci-fi, eastern mysticism, posthumanism, and conspiracy theory.

Do you want me to switch the ownership of the book to you Marc ? This way you could update the text if necessary.

I'll add this to my Creative Commons Science Fiction list. Would you label it apocalyptic fiction and cyberpunk too ? Got lists for those too.
