review 1: I thought the Bohr in the title referred to Niels Bohr, but actually it was a fictional character named Leander Bohr. Lots of interesting sf ideas, including multiple virtual copies of a parson flitting around in cyberspace and/or inhabiting different bodies and merging their experiences when they come together, without any drama about identity or the question of which is the "real" one or the "soul".
review 2: This is the first book I've read where people lived in/worked with their virtual selves--where in fact one could have more than one "ghost" of oneself out and about. It was complex and interesting, but I couldn't help feeling that a lot of the plot turns were arbitrary--because I couldn't completely understand how the ghosts and atriums worked, and what ... morethe laws were around them, it seemed that what happened wasn't necessarily inevitable in that universe. Perhaps a second read would make more sense of the underpinnings in this universe. less
