A very balanced,good review Ian. I didnt buy in to the hype of it and will read to read a debut sf novel and hope for a good read.

The thing you said about being good with ideas rather than psychology of the characters is a flaw in many of contemporary sf i have read. Actual science over good enough characters is a big minus since after all you want a story,characters to be good enough and not read science fact books.

It's not an easy book to review. There's lots to think about in it, but I wasn't entirely satisfied with the way some of it was implemented.
