combine Stephenson's Snow Crash, Benchley's Jaws and romancing the stone what do you get?

The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall. Very much fun to read. You should to. I especially appreciated all of the name checks and the middle distance Carver epigram at the beginning of part two.

I like the idea of un-space exploration. Kind of like dark internet and what happens between ip addrs. I think there is a dead media name check to Bruce Sterling somewhere in the twistings. Too bad the biro doodles where'nt inserted ala Vonnegut, but maybe we can imagine them like this?
