Review of 'Trouble and Her Friends' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Classic cyberpunk; jacking in, breaking ICE, walking around virtual BBS; it's all here.
Good:

Goes beyond conflict between cops/corps & hackers to explore impact of legislature & how internet could/should be regulated
Bad:
Takes a bit to get going
Writing a bit dry at times
