Loneliness on the Net by Janusz Leon Wisniewski - 3 stars

[Diana]

A more contemporary story would be impossible: the Internet, pagers, airline e-tickets, genome decoding, text messages. And it's a classic love story. A story of love on the Internet. The ultimate love, the one of dreams.
Wisniewski tells the story superbly and analytically taking his reader from near celebratory tenderness only to amaze a few lines later with daring eroticism. Loneliness on the Net is also a tribute to knowledge intertwined with a love story. It's a story about molecules of emotions, about who discovered DNA, and what happened to Einstein's brain.

The book was interesting for me because it describes the period when ICQ was only created. I didn't know anything about it. So it was nice to learn more about the time when people only started communicating via the internet.

The book itself is quite depressing — a lot of deaths, painful relationships, and terrible accidents. Not a fun of such romances.
