I first read this the year it was nominated for the Hugo, and don’t have a lot to add to what I wrote then, except that for some reaon I didn’t enjoy it as much the second time round. Perhaps it is because I now know how the Sirius Black storyline ends?

My guy feeling is that Cyprus was significantly behind the rest of continental Europe as far as internet take up is concerned. However I did stop living in that country back in 1987 so I’m not an up to date *expert*.
OTOH my mother, who lives in Cyprus, doesn’t have broadband. When I lived there you needed to physically go to the telephone company to pay your bill – how is that for old fashioned!
