Returning to the world I loved so much as a young adult I found myself once more entranced by the world setting and characters created by Mr. Barnes. I found myself reading with two sets of eyes. The relatively inexperienced and wide eyed youth and my current more critical and judgmental self.
I can honestly say that the story and characters hold up well. The extrapolations about technology, including about battery powered cars were quite sweet. Though we still don't have any flying cars dammit! The inter-connectivity of the world through cell phones and internet were all there as well the use of media to influence politics and every day life.
Aubry and Promise are back in my life and I can only thank Steven for making the series available in an electronic format.

Sequel to Streetlethal, which I read earlier this year. I liked it better - a bit more variety of scene and tone, while still restricted to a dystopian future California and points north; we explore genetic mutation and single-sex societies. It still didn't grab me particularly hard, and I don't think I shall seek out the third of the trilogy.
