Book Review of Eastern Standard Tribe

Eastern Standard Tribe
SteveTheDM avatar reviewed on + 204 more book reviews


A quick tale about mental institutions and business partners who cheat, all set in a tomorrow where online communities cluster around time zone more than anything else.

Doctorow basically starts in the middle and then uses a "now" timeline and a "flashback" timeline to keep the tension high. It's a good trick, and works well. This was a fun book, and very fast to read.

4 out of 5.
