About 150 pages too long. Not as well-crafted as his Tokeshi Kovacs novels, but still good escapist fun. The US has split into a few countries around essentially blue states and red states. It's not clear exactly what happened to Illinois? The most interesting thing is that it's titled "Black Man" in the UK.
I'm on a bit of a Michael Lewis kick with Panic! (easily the best excerpt was this one) and all his recent financial writings. If you love baseball, actually if you know anything about baseball, you'll dig this book. It's fun to read it a few years on and recognize many of the names in the book. Good enough to tempt me into becoming an A's fan.
