Denek and Crim are at it again in this prequel to Freedom - this time taking on the meaning of Choice. As before, they bring their unique approach to philosophy with them, sure to make any academic cringe in disapproval: it’s theory versus practice and force-projection instead of analytical referencing – strangely thought provoking and yet thoroughly disrespectful at the same time.

Smashwords book reviews by Ralph Ewig

    This book kicks ass - not only does the author know what he's talking about regarding the technology that propels the story, but he actually has something to say. The story touches on all kind of current issues (copyright, censorship, online economy, etc.) but is always entertaining and insightful without degrading into yet another lecture. I've read both "The Spiraling Web" and the follow on "Entropy of Ideas", and they are by far the best free scifi I've found on Smashwords so far. The characters are interesting, the tech believable, and the dialogs are full of pointed barbs - if you liked Neuromancer, Snow Crash, or Altered Carbon, you need to read these books. This is what Tron could (should!) have been, before it got all Disney-fied ...
