Lady of Mazes

[from inside flaps] "His novels Ventus and Permanence have established Karl Schroeder as one of the new stars of hard SF. Now he extends his reach again, into Larry Niven territory, and back to the same distant future in which Ventus was set, to tell the story of Teven Coronal, a huge multiplicity of human civilizations inhabiting a ringworld. Far distant and isolated from the rest of spacefaring humanity, Teven suffers a mysterious invasion, one that will destroy its fragile ecologies and unique human diversity. Charles Stross says: "Lady of Mazes chews away at some hard questions about the significance of human existence in a world where artificial intelligence, post-humans, and beings indistinguishable from gods coexist with over a trillion people. Livia Kodaly lives in a pocket civilization in the fallow zone--a belt of orbital colonies in deep space that is supposedly uninhabited. She's a cultural diplomat, in a world where a people's attitude toward culture determines the technologies that will work for them and even determines their perceptions of their surroundings. But her world is under attack by an entity known as 3340, which is seeking to break down the horizons between cultures and destroy the locks that keep technologies in check. Schroeder recognizes that your choice of technology determines the way you live, and in Lady of Mazes he's created a puzzle-box of a novel that explores an uneasy dilemma: Is it better to live a fulfilling life or one free of external constraints? Is it even possible to live an unconstrained human existence in a future where there are no limits on the available technologies?" Classic SF writer Charles Harness says: "Two paragraphs into Schroeder we are plunged into the seductive virtual world of Livia Kodaly As a result of a near-fatal accident in childhood, she is left with a rare, unwelcome gift: She can perceive reality. When her home manifold is invaded by monsters, she surfaces to lead the counterattack. With great skill she fights back, and she supports her clear sense of reality with her inscape implants, her animas, her Society (images of family and friends), her angels (protective auras), her sims, her faeries (Peaseblossom and Cicada!), and so eventually recovers her homeland--and more." We SAY: Filled with action, ideas, and intellectual energy, Lady of Mazes is the hard SF novel of the year."
