My review


rating: 2 of 5 stars
A first contact story, where introduction of a mysterious alien wish-granting technology catalyzes the political upheaval between good old humans and their highly engineered children species. Not actually bad or anything; but also not in the least engaging to me. There was this thematic . . . thing about form and function and personal destiny, plus a psychologically clumsy virtual reality subplot, but it just didn't fit together right and I never mustered up enough interest to work it through.
