Glass Houses by Laura J. Mixon

3.0

No one could say that this book is gracefully written (how did the author think it was a good idea to describe the response to an unexpected noise like so: "My skin started to creep up the back of my neck like it wanted to hide on top of my head"), but it’s fast-paced and fun, and I didn't have any trouble deciphering the important aspects of the setting or following the plot. It ticks all the boxes: a gritty future setting, a tough-and-tender techie heroine (the emotional implications of the fact that she spends most of her time piloting a waldo by VR link are one of the best things in the story), chases and fistfights, treacherous lovers and loyal friends. It’s light entertainment of quite good quality.

Interesting cyberpunk story. Has a very contemporary feel to it despite being 28 years old. And I couldn't definitely see it being turned into a show for one of the streaming channels.
