I must confess I haven't read any Chalker for ages - I went through a phase of devouring the Well of Souls books, when I developed a taste for complex fantasy which you have to read with one finger in the glossary/map to keep checking not only where you are but WHAT you are in the fantasy world. This book isn't a bit like the WOS books, though having said that it is a kind of prequel, so maybe it isn't representative of the rest of the series. It describes how the world of Flux and Anchor was first set up and the science behind it is truly fascinating. It is similar to the WOS world in that human beings can be drastically altered by interactions with the computers which control their environment. I must admit I did become annoyed at the number of times an intelligent, career oriented female became turned into a simple busty bimbo, but what the hack, in Chalker books it kind of goes with the territory. He probably imagines this stuff is only read by teenage boys anyway!
