This is a great read! Having read her lighthearted "My Big Fake Irish Life," I wasn't sure what to expect with a science fiction novel. I needn't have worried; McKenna is an extremely versatile storyteller. "Logging Off" is gritty, suspenseful and action-packed. Given all of the advances in robotics and artificial intelligence in recent years, there is a definite shiver factor in "Logging Off."
I always look for books on dystopias and, lately, there are lots of those. This is a good one. I almost wish that the society had worked out. The fact that people have the choice to be citizens are not is enough choice for me. But, as usual, the machines mess everything up and extraordinary people do their best to fix it.
