Minor achievement

This is my First Book review with my broken English and grammar mistake!

First up on my list is GlassHouse by Charles Stross. I read a few books from Charles Stross before and i do give him high remarks so i guess this is why i decided to do my first book review his GlassHouse.

This is what is written at the back of the book.

Its the 27th century; interstellar travel is by teleport gate, and conflicts are fought by network worms that censor refugees’ personalities and target historians. Robin is a civilian now-demobilised following a civil war-but someone wants him dead because of something his earlier self knew.
Feel from his ruthless pursuer, he volunteers to participate in a unique experimental polity, the Glasshouse. It seems the ideal hiding place for a posthuman on the run, but in this escape-proof environment Robin will undergo even more radical change, placing him at the mercy of the experimenters – and of his own unbalanced psyche.

Glasshouse is a nice book but it could be so much more! It is set in the 27 century where we have assembly-gates, the ability to back up ourselves, habitats orbiting brown dwarfs, immortality, memory-censoring viruses, multiple-clones of yourself,the freedom to be who and what you want to be (Want to be a four-armed woman? Want to be a blue hermaphrodite centaur with chain-mail hauberk and no pants? ITS ALL POSSIBLE!)

But all we are got was a story about a ’simulation’ that bring the story back to the 21-24 century where they re enact shopping, gossiping, working and a bunch of stuff we are basically doing now….

There is of course more to this story then basic everyday stuff but i wont get into those since its not really S.F for most of the story.. kinda of more like a normal person trying to beat a unfair system with no help from any of the advance technology … a disappointing way to write a S.F story on such a great S.F background…
