A review by omad
Queen of Angels by Greg Bear

2047 is ending and Emmanuel Goldsmith, a well respected poet has slaughtered 8 young devotees before disappearing. Hence begins a search to find him, and understand out why he would do such a thing. Several intertwined story lines follow a pd (public defence) investigator, a disgraced neural scientist, a friend of Goldsmith's, and an AI researcher.

I had a lot of trouble getting into this, due to a combination of unfamiliar terms and some unusual typographic techniques, used to indicate what a character was thinking. It made for confusing and slow going.

Fortunately, I persevered and thoroughly enjoyed the story.
