Format:Mass Market Paperback
Pat Cadigan's MindPlayers was one of the first "sci-fi" books I read, and I fell in love with it. All the characters have their own unique quirks and personality traits, but my favorite two characters were the twins, Dolby and Dolan. Each time I read Mindplayers, I find something that I missed the last time I read the book. The creative aspects of the characters is the best part of the story. It is noteworthy that almost every character within the book has an altered appearance; no one seems to be as they were at birth. Onionheads are especially interesting, although they get only a mention. Pat Cadigan has had to endure television and movie ripoffs of some of the details within Mindplayers, but this book remains a classic and the first of its kind.

I am not sure what to think of this book, but it was quite impressive. There are a lot of innovative ideas here as well as a (at least) reasonable story line. For my money a lot better than "Tea from an empty cup". Well deserves to be reprinted.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Mindplayers is well written, at times funny and full of cool ideas. Unfortunately it's also repetitious and, though short, still too long for it's story. This could have been a five-stare novella!

It's rather disconnected.
This cyberpunk novel of the future is a bit slow in most places and just kind of drifts from one scene to another, without any real plot. Read more

Eye-popping cyberpunk about altered states of mind.
Another great cyberpunk novel by Pat Cadigan. It's worth the extra effort necessary to acquire this out-of-print book. Read more
