Media Reviews
Original and grimly unsentimental.... A major accomplishment, written in austerely beautiful prose. - The Washington Post Book World A funny, troubling story about our culture's devotion to technology at the expense of humanity.... Clever and wise, a rare combination. - San Francisco Chronicle Although the world around Bill 'is diminished to the most feeble red light, ' the novel, at last, burns brightly. - The New Yorker A searing vision of our helter-skelter and spiritually debilitating technocracy. - The Chicago Tribune
