Demanding, but rewarding!

It took me quite some time to read this book, but I really liked it. I wasn't expecting the final revelation, and I'll have to read it a couple of times more in order to link all the references and ideas expressed in the different narratives of the book.

The whole reflexion on surveillance society is also very interesting and timely.
