This is an interesting read from a cyber-historic perspective. The author clearly has a deep knowledge of Japanese culture, and uses it to build a fairly good "creating AI" story. Considering it was written in 1986, it carries concepts of dystopian future, mega-corp warfare (in a literal, mercenary warrior sense), network attack/defense, mind linking "helmets" (think fMRI today), and other tech concepts. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Review: This was a dated, but still relevant story. Tokugawa is a child, then an adolescent, then an adult who becomes a warrior, a lover, and in turn, much wiser than the humans around him. Each person he meets, even the ones who love him, end up using him for their own gain. And in the end, Tokugawa lives up to the values he was taught. This is a darker book than I realized, dark and more graphic - there are several sex scenes and some rather violent deaths. Set after some fictional World War, the authors view of what would happened (war in Europe, America broken in several countries) was amusing and deeply rooted in current events at the time of publication (1985). While technology drives the story, it's really the people and their flaws that make the story. This is a hard-core classic science fiction and worth reading for anyone who enjoys more philosophical stories. ( )
