TURN OF THE CENTURY

George, a former journalist with one hand missing, has created a successful TV cop show and is developing a new ficto-reality series. Wife Lizzie has her own software firm, which Microsoft is courting. Their satiric adventures, set a year into the future, bring them into contact with teenaged hackers, stock market sharks, media moguls and other fascinating specimens of the Information Age. John Rubinstein's listener-friendly voice handles the characters and incidents with expressive intelligence. A book about schemes is bound to contain subplots galore. This abridgment sometimes makes it difficult to keep them straight. Y.R. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 99]
