I thought the idea behind the book was well thought through and quite interesting (discrimination of humans who had augmented their bodies with computers leads basically to war) but didn't really grab me in practice. The book is pretty short, so the author ramps up petty discrimination to an almost concentration camp level of hatred extremely quick and implausibly. In addition, the characters I just didn't care about. Certainly the conflict and double-crosses between the leaders of the different factions was neat trying to figure out who are 'good guys' but that doesn't make up for a pretty boring read otherwise.
