Tomislav's Reviews > Spin Control

This is set in the same universe as Moriarty's Spin State, but is not a direct sequel. Because I was so completely impressed with the use of current-state physics in Spin State, it took almost half of this book to get over my disappointment that this book is not the same. Sure, there is passing mention of Bose-Einstein and particle entanglement, but that is not part of this story at all. Moriarty here digs into evolutionary informatics, but that didn't engage me as much. However, after I accepted this novel for what it was, a 26th century thriller set in Israel/Palestine with human, posthuman, and artificial intelligence characters, I was pulled in.

Apparently, Moriarty's third novel - Ghost Spin - has been in progress for the past four years and not yet published. I looked up her blog, and found that she has had a child since 2006, so maybe it will be a while. I hope not too long.
