Island in the Net, Bruce Sterling - Star Trek Website

So I just finished Island in the Net and I’m not sure that I got the propos I feel that there’s something behind the book, something I cannot put my finger on. Is it a tale against globalization? Is Rizome was the bad guy all along? Am I not old enough to understand a 88 book ?

    I tried reading this one about a decade ago. It never really clicked with me and took years to even finish it. I’ve always wondered if I gave it another try (and didn’t get distracted with other books) if I’d understand it better or enjoy it more. But yeah, my memory of it kinda matches your experience. Wasn’t a fan.
