Doctorow is more than just a sick mind looking to twist the perceptions
of those whose realities remain uncorrupted - though that should be
enough recommendation to read his work. *Down and Out in the Magic
Kingdom* is black comedic, sci-fi prophecy on the dangers of
surrendering our consensual hallucination to the regime. Fun to read,
but difficult to sleep afterwards.

"Wow! Disney imagineering meets nanotechnology, the reputation economy,
and Ray Kurzweil's transhuman future. As much fun as Neal Stephenson's
Snow Crash, and as packed with mind bending ideas about social changes
cascading from the frontiers of science."
