The rewards for the Kickstarter were sent out, so I jumped it to the top of my reading list. Hawthorne’s prose is playful. It seems like a lot of the sci-fi emerging out of the retro-futurist, first stages of the industrialization of electricity (whatever you want to call it) had a bright, optimistic bent. How could it not? They didn’t know that the humanist-friendly “better tomorrow” would never happen. Either way, the lines of fantasy and science in the technology used here are really blurred; the fantastical tech just works, without needing to explain the mechanics behind it.
I’ll post more of a review after I finish.
