A fantastic book!, - By: Kurt A. Johnson, 04 Jun 2004
Johnson Mukerjii is on top of the world; he's rich, married to a beautiful woman, & his high-tech firm is about to come out with the most advanced 3-D computer. And then the aliens came. Selling their advanced technology at reasonable prices, they drive Earth's high-tech firms out of business, & Mukerjii out into the streets. But, Johnson Mukerjii is not a man to stay down long; he knows that to stay alive Earth must produce, it must become the Taiwan of the galaxy!

A friend recommended this book to me, & it came as quite a revelation. I had not heard of it before, but it is quite a fantastic book! The roller coaster ride that Greg Costikyan puts on for the reader is both surprising & believable. As the humans try to come to grips with the new world, they resort to old ways of thinking: some latch on to old racism, & some Boomers return to their past for a drug-laced "Winter of Love!"

This is a fascinating book, one that makes you think at the same time that it entertains. I think that this is a great book, & I highly recommend it to you.
