Stross calls new novel Mundane

-

JJA has a piece on Charles Stross on SciFi, where Mr. Stross calls his new novel Halting State Mundane...


"My understanding of 'mundane SF' is that it eschews the impossible and unknowable in an attempt to focus on the possible and the relevant,"

I'm personally a bit bored of these manifestos, but there you go, it's just a label. Halting State is a 2nd person POV book, which should attract some attention, but the plot sounds cool as well...

"It's basically about the future of online role-playing games; MMORPGs like World of Warcraft or less structured, less game-oriented systems such as Second Life are the first truly successful, commercial, viable virtual reality systems of the multi-user type."
