817.0. "Artificial Kid by Bruce Sterling" by POLAR::LACAILLE (There's a madness to my method) Thu Aug 24 1989 16:17
Well, I'm half way through this one so I won't give a complete
ruling yet.
A sort of cyperpunk meets Frank Herberts Jesus Incident.
Writtin in the first person relative to the main character
of the Artificial Kid. He is a professional fighter in the
Decriminalized Zone...sorta like WWF but with much more
violence, and alot more prestige.
He starts by pissing off someone with good connections, who
turns the government of the planet against him. He ends up
befriending two influential persons (who are enemies of the
governments as well) who get entangled in his cause.
Thats basically the structure...not bad reading, not
exceptional either.
