Sleep Dealer: Put Me Down for Yes
[Sleep Dealer]
Set in a futuristic world of have-nots, Sleep Dealer shows how 21st-century gadgetry sucks resources from the world's poor and channels them to its wealthy villagers are forced to buy water for their crops from an armed, English-speaking robot. Most of the village's healthy men have bolted for Tijuana to look for work in cyberfactories. And the multinational imprint is seen almost everywhere.
As one poster put it, this sounds like a cross between the Diamond Age, William Gibson Books, and Crash. I would say I am a fan of all three so let's hope this takes the best from all and knocks it out of the park.
