Sci-fi and horror, nice combination.

While I liked the concept - How would humans cope with an apparent utopia-turned-dystopia? - I didn't really like the execution here. It makes sense that people would gravitate towards the more extreme sensations to find meaning in a meaningless existence, but reading about it as it was written here was not a fun experience for me.

2 stars for a kind of cool premise? That the author used only to prove that I would not want to be alone in a room with him

Maybe my favourite sci-fi novel.
What would people do if they were immortal and could have anything? A benevolent AI that protects people also allows them to live out their perverted fantasies. After a few hundred years of wildest pleasures what is there left for humanity to do?

I always like this book. Quick, interesting and entertaining, with an interesting take on the Singularity.
