This was great fun. Great sci-fi elements including interesting types of post-humans and artificial intelligence.

Also interesting future societies that had roots in today's world.

For a Canadian, having people who spoke varieties of French that included "tabarnak" as a bad swear word, was great.

And because this is more or less a heist story, it starts with the gathering of the team. I just love stories that start that way.

Alas, no talking rodents.
