His writing style is about the opposite of my own, but the world he writes about is so very like mine in so many ways that I feel we are akin in our thoughts about the future. Nanotechnology is huge in both of our worlds, and the capture of the human mind in digital form also weighs heavily in our stories. The use of this technology to create a form of immortality is the very backbone of my own book.
It's almost as if someone gave the basic building blocks of a cyberpunk story to two different writers and told us to go at it. We cover much of the same ground using the same technologies, yet we each have our own styles and thoughts, so we end up with two very different stories.
I truly enjoyed Time Heist, and I think many of you would as well. I look forward to reading more of Vicino's work in the future.

They both sound like interesting books. Scary theme, though. Of course, that's the idea behind a thriller, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, I find it interesting myself, at least the ideas of aiming for immortality via technology. But the tech alone can't drive an interesting story, so we have to wrap it in something more exciting!
DeleteThat's a great way to phrase it. That's why it doesn't matter that there are only so many plots in the world. We each make them our own with our style.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting book.
