STONE. London: Gollancz, [2002]. Octavo, boards. First edition. The author's third novel is set in an "exuberant, far future, utopian, hedonistic, galaxy-spanning venue -– seems at first an homage to Iain M Banks's Culture, both universes being argued in terms of a non-scarcity economics, with nanotechnology-assisted Immortality, though without AIs in this case; but soon darkens into acerbic Satire, as the Fantastic Voyage undertaken by its protagonist (a man once a woman) uncovers a series of viciously irresponsible societies, almost (it seems) justifying his mission, for he has been freed from prison in order to commit planetary genocide." - The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (online). A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#94094).
