Tech-Heaven is a prequel, dealing with the development of some of the technologies and attitudes that underly that book. This book is set in the same universe as several other books, most notably The Bohr Maker (since the other books take place farther in the future and off Earth), a book I really enjoyed and thought was ahead of its time with some of the ideas it explored. However, mostly, reading this book was a chore for me. Maybe 'bad' is a bit harsh, although I do legitimately feel some of this is lacking, but to be fair there's also a lot that hits on my pet peeves and separating the two may be a finger line. I guess everyone's got a bad book in them, though. Sometimes it can get a little out there with esoteric ideas, but her near future stuff is usually pretty solidly enjoyable.
