So I just finished Island in the Net and I’m not sure that I got the propos

I feel that there’s something behind the book, something I cannot put my finger on.

Is it a tale against globalization? Is Rizome was the bad guy all along? Am I not old enough to understand a 88 book ?

If you don’t get any answers here, maybe you can try the cyberpunk lemmy to see if anyone there has read the book.

I've found Bruce Sterling hit or miss. Really loved Schismatrix and Distraction was interesting. But I couldn't get through Heavy Weather.

Yeah Schismatrix had somewhat de same vibe but it have an end with a clear idea of what the book means.

I have no idea what it's about.

There's a lot of older scifi that has not stood the test of time yet is still somehow intriguing.
