Query: You would be better off to read most anything else

I bought this book because I was in Switzerland and it was in a bargain bin for 1/4 the price of your usual English paperback. I'm not at all sure how I managed to finish it, in that it seemed terrible in every possible way: I found the characters artificial and a lot of their actions and dialogue terribly contrived. For example, what sysadmin would allow an unknown computer to freely interface with her system, which is the main computer controlling all aspects of a space station? At several points the characters seemed to be simply giving speeches of the author's own views. Better novels about utopia and man's interfaction with computers abound.
