One of the most beautifully-written stories I've read. Ever. Doctorow's imagination caught me from the first page and didn't let me go till well after the last word. Reminiscent of C.S. Lewis' Till We Have Faces. Set in the midst of technological progress that holds the characters in their own entangled webs. Fascinating, amazing, sad, all at once. Truly exceptional writing from Doctorow.
