I'm reading the Unincorporated Man by the Kollin brothers. Parts of it are interesting. The anti-virtual-reality segment was pretty good, if heavy-handed.
The book has terrible POV issues though. It just goes all over the place. It feels like a third-person-omniscient book that was partially edited into a third-person-limited book. There are often scene breaks inserted when the POV changes within the same scene, but then a section will have a POV change or two within it without any scene break, even from one paragraph to the next. Even if they kept it omniscient, though, that POV always bugs me and strikes me as amateurish. Well, this IS their first novel.
Its technological view of the future is straight out of the 50s, but with nanotech grafted on. There's the obligatory "Look how enormous New York City is now!" scene from that era of writing. And it's a very Western-centric future, with the convenient excuse that India and China nuked each other out of existence. Or rather, it says India and Pakistan nuked each other out of existence, which I totally understand, but then it just throws China into it too. Why? No idea.
Oh, and there's a note in the acknowledgments page thanking the alpha readers for pointing out how terrible the first draft of the sex scene was. Well, the version that made it into the book is still pretty terrible, if blessedly short.
Still, I'm interested to see how the story plays out. There is a fairly competent antagonist who has a legitimate reason to fear the protagonist's affect on his society. And I'm still fascinated by the basic premise of personal incorportation, selling shares in yourself.
