Review of 'Dome City Blues' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
David Stalin has no intention of being a private detective again, but a string of gruesome murders draws him back in.
This story is set into the not-so-distant cyberpunk future when the earth's air is hardly breadable and cities have been covered by giant domes. Everything has been automated and handed over to artificial intelligence that is gaining more and more control over people.
I saw this story compared to some of [a:William Gibson|9226|William Gibson|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1373826214p2/9226.jpg]'s best work. I would not go as far as that. However, it is a well written and griping story set an in interesting environment.
I was surprised to learn that this book was actually written in 1992 and hardly any changes were made to it when it was released. It's incredible how timely this still feels. Only the representation of the virtual world seems a bit dated, but otherwise you wouldn't guess its age.
