I had started reading this book awhile back and for some reason forgot to finish it. Since I’m working a few overnight shifts at work I decided to audiobook this and finally finish it.

I love the setting – the oppressive heat, the wall keeping back the sea, calorie-men, post-industrial collapse, fleets of white clipper ships, treadle computers, teak gears.

It’s the most original sci-fi since Neuromancer.
