What an odd feeling, just having made similar (if far inferior)
comments about Spin elsewhere, to click over to Making Light
and find this. And while I'm under no illusion as to the weight of
some random lurker's recommendations, Spin really is the
best pure SF novel of the past decade (in part, certainly, because
it works on many more levels than just straight hard SF), Wilson's
best work (which is saying a lot, in this reader's opinion), and
far and away the best of the novels I read last year. It's a book
that makes me want to say, "Well, you aren't really an SF fan,
then," to aficionados who haven't read it, and, "This will change
your mind," to anybody who believes the field can't produce
worthwhile fiction.
