Amanda reviewed Autonomous by Annalee Newitz
Review of 'Autonomous' on 'GoodReads'
4 stars
It's very similar to most of Doctorow's novels, in both a good and a bad way; it still relies on magical 3D printers and still has this sort of legalistic monomania (though a different sort of imaginary property), but I do go for that stuff. I think the discussion on autonomy, freedom and privacy feels fresh, though I felt it really took off around 100-150 pages in or so.
There are some very solarpunk scenes as well, though I don't think you can call the book solarpunk.
