"Swanwick presents a marvelously complex world in a very small space, filling it with finely drawn characters, superb stylistic flourishes, tantic sex, literary allusions galore, and fascinating bits of cybernetic technology, including an almost magical artificial intelligence briefcase and a government office complex located exclusively in virtual reality." Winner of the 1991 Nebula award for best novel." - Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-1111. Broderick and Di Filippo, Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985-2010 #24.
