Summary: Except for 'Dark Ladies' and the occassional treasure in a used book store, you'll be hard-pressed to find many of Leiber's classic works, and this is a shame.
Fans of the Wachowski's 'Matrix' trilogy will find a number of similarities of story, which centers around an unemployment clerk who is 'awakened' by a strange girl. Once awakened he steps out of his life only to find it continues on without him; indeed, the whole world continues as if it were only some huge clockwork machine.
As said, the idea of world=machine, with but a few awakened souls, seems to be a popular one today.
The creepiness comes when he can watch friends and lovers have conversations with him when he isn't there, describe shared experiences he never experienced. By not doing what he is supposed to do, by being 'awake', he is outside the machine.
The sheer horror of being outside the machine is what Leiber is interested in (hence the title). When no one notices you even if you slap them in the face, when nothing you do has an impact on the world, you truly are all alone.
Find a copy if you can. Steal one if you can't. It's a story which deserves to be read.

Summary: Maya is a world controlled by a self-perpetuating aristocracy, the Changed, who maintain their superiority by tinkering with the genes of their children. This long tradition of genetic manipulation and the brain patterning that goes with it allows the Changed to interface with the Exchange, a computer-based community of blended intelligences. Those who are merely human are denied such opportunities and are consigned to the squalor of the city of Babelion. When Arsen, a young man of Babelion, meets Della, a young Changed woman--both of whom, naturally, are strong, smart, and single-mindedly rebellious--the stage is set for a galloping SF adventure. Arsen, unfortunately, gets killed (in a series of events designed to showcase the natural evil of the Changed), though not before Della becomes pregnant. Their son is Anselm, who is destined to change the world.
Using multiple viewpoints (some of which work better than others), Lewitt ("Memento Mori") shows us a young man who not only struggles to understand himself and his dual heritage but manages to lead a full-scale rebellion and discover, in passing, that Maya itself is a mere pawn in an Imperial power struggle. A healthy dose of philosophical and spiritual self-examination, spiced by a little romance and dollop of Hindu cosmology, leavens this otherwise traditional tale of the triumph of the human spirit over technological oppression. "--Luc Duplessis"

Reader Rating: 4.5 (3 votes)
Date Added:
Summary: I recently read the Hell books by Holly Lisle (or at least the first three). The books are concerned with the presence of the hellraised on Earth and the interplay between Heaven and Hell.
In the third book, HELL ON HIGH, the devil discovers that one of the Fallen has completely disappeared. A hellraised private eye is enlisted to track down the missing Fallen and discover how it was accomplished. Meanwhile the mere existence of the hellraised has bolstered physicists into new areas of research. Established Laws of Physics are regularly broken by the hellraised so humans should be able to do it as well. The main project is a stardrive that will enable man to reach the stars.
These books were very enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed the scenes in Heaven. This is the Christian Heaven, but all the other afterlife's exist as well and God spends time in all of them. But while this made for very enjoyable reading the author(s) seemed to have no concept of omnipresence. I do recommend these books to anyone who likes a bit of light fantasy that is tied together with well-thought out premises and ideas.

Summary: I recently read the Hell books by Holly Lisle (or at least the first three). The books are concerned with the presence of the hellraised on Earth and the interplay between Heaven and Hell.
In THE DEVIL AND DAN COOLEY, North Carolina is still home to the hellraised. Radio DJ Dan Cooley begins a program to help the hellraised redeem themselves. Meanwhile the Devil has assigned a new head to the Earthside operations. As the hellraised get closer to arranging to run a theme park Hell's hidden agenda works its way into the North Carolina residents.
Another fine entry in the series with some very unforseen plot-twists at the end where we find out what has really been going on.

Summary: THE SECRET TEXTS Holly Lisle, the acclaimed author of the #1 Locus bestsellers Diplomacy of Wolves and Vengeance of Dragons, concludes the fantastic epic of The Secret Texts, as a millennium of blood curses, dark conspiracies, and arcane sorceries engulfs a world... THE FINAL BATTLE The Falcons, a band of fugitive wizards that includes skinshifters Kait Galweigh and Ry Sabir, struggle in their desperate battle against the immortal, soul-devouring necromancers called the Dragons. Meanwhile, a thousand tribes of long-banished Scarred declare war on the civilized lands, with a prophesied messiah uniting them into an unstoppable army. Bent on conquest and revenge, the Scarred don't care that their new leader, Luercas, is a being so evil that even the Dragons fear him... To defeat the Dragons, Kait and Ry must destroy the source of the sorcerers' power-the Mirror of Souls. But if they succeed, they will lose the only weapon that can stop Luercas from becoming a demonic god who will enslave the entire world...forever.
