Market Forces
Finished Market Forces on the ferry ride home from dinner in Seattle. It wasn't as incredible as Morgan's first book (Altered Carbon), but I thought on the whole it was better than the critics made it out to be.
I think the biggest problem with the book was that it required a serious dose of suspension of disbelief to get past the whole Car Wars angle. Morgan did support the evolution of "road raging" (lethally competitive driving) as a means to settle executive advancement - but the support was a bit weak. If you can get past that, though - the story is compelling; told with Morgan's hallmark style, pacing, and character development.
Not the crown jewel in Morgan's collection thus far, but hardly one to hide in the dust bin.
