review 1: This was a collection of seven short stories used to connect the overarching story about the rise of AI and decline of humanity as revealed by the android Ibis. The short stories were generally good, but "Black Hole Diver" was a cut above the rest. The final, and most important, short-story "AI's Story" would have rated higher, but it dragged on in the beginning. Never-the-less, the ending to this story was fantastic and tied the entire novel together. Very entertaining.
review 2: a deeply humanistic novel, maybe too sentimental for my tastes but mostly very powerful. there are elements of the hard-sf yamamoto was working with in mm9, but much more subdued this time. yamamoto is a smart guy and seems to be deeply aware of sf as a field; also, for once, i agreed... more with pretty much everything that was being argued in this novel, which didn't hurt. in the end i think i liked mm9 better but this is definitely worth checking out too less
