A human-centered take on virtual reality

In contrast to much of the VR genre, Sage Walker's novel focuses on characters, setting, and plot, and does so exceedingly well! I've been to McMurdo Station, Antarctica, and ridden the zodiacs described here. Ms. Walker's novel is so close to the reality that it gave me flashbacks. Her vision of a future in which technology serves her characters--instead of the reverse, set against the future of Antarctic politics, is mesmerizing. This is top-notch Science Fiction.
