You still don't know, do you? Not just about him... but about yourself.

'Blade Runner 3: Replicant Night' is voiced in Philip K. Dick's philosophy without trying to ape his style. While not a perfect novel there is much to enjoy for fans of both Dick and Blade Runner. #sf #scifi #sciencefiction #books #bookreview

K.W. Jeter /Farewell Horizontal  1989

‘’Set on the outside of a huge cylindrical building that towers above the clouds, Jeter's Farewell Horizontal (published as a Signet paperback in 1989) does what the best SF is supposed to do: stimulate the imagination. Rather than mollycoddle and stultify the brain, Jeter's book prods and excites it with wild new possibilities.

Jeter's protagonist here is Ny Axxter, a freelance graffex (a sort of CGI graffiti artist) who lives on the Vertical, the exterior of the Cylinder, along with all the other rogues, miscreants and non-conformists. That's right, they live on the outside of this building, most of the time doing stuff sideways. Think about it.

Inside the Cylinder, on the Horizontal, live all the squares and factory drudges. At the very top live the wealthy privileged elite. In the skies above the Cylinder, however, float the Angels, the end product of a long-forgotten military experiment that resulted in beautiful flying mutants. Meanwhile, further inside the Cylinder, are the spooky and mysterious Dead Centers…

With the aid of cybernetic boot tentacles and a plethora of other similar devices, people like Axxter scrounge around the Cylinder's exterior trying to eke out a living. Axxter is on the brink of poverty when he scores a big gig: creating new graffex for one of the top military tribes on the Vertical, the Havoc Mass. It looks like Axxter is about to make it to easy street when he's horribly betrayed by persons unknown, gets unwittingly stuck in the middle of a massive power struggle/conspiracy between military tribes, and he has to run for his life.

Farewell Horizontal is exciting top notch SF. Jeter creates a world that, while weird, works. He's wisely not obsessed with explaining the mechanics of the building (unlike, say Larry Niven with his Ringworld), just giving the right amount of information to cover as much of the bases as are needed. Jeter is a font of new ideas, and he has a keen eye for detail (especially sociological detail). Farewell Horizontal is perfect pulpy Sci-Fi action for anybody who has ever wished that Iain M. Banks "Culture" books weren't so, well, "cultured."... ‘’
