Spin

This is a fantastically fun read. Wilson has taken a few really interesting ideas and woven a solid story around them (as opposed to my view of P.K. Dick, who has billions of interesting ideas and creates forgettable stories around them–though they are still well worth reading for the ideas). The story has some problems: The characters are a little too similar to those in the Julian Comstock novel (even down to the minor-player narrator) for my tastes, for instance, and I would have liked them to be a bit more complex. But these are minor complaints for a great little sci-fi book.
