Review by: Blake Newton on Nov. 01, 2012 : (no rating)
A good short story, yet it pales in comparison to "Hardwired". Hardwired was a glance at the future years down the road (@ 100 years). It was a classic novel that captured me even though I don't really follow the sci-fi reads. I can't say Solip System doeas as well despite being a good read. I'd give it a six out of ten or seven out of ten.
