Summary: Different... very readable.
Comment: I'm a huge fan of The Truth Machine and The First Immortal, and this book was unlike Halperin's novels in some ways. For one thing, I don't think he rewrote it as many times. It's much less intricate and maybe not as polished, yet he displays the same ability to put you right into an imaginary situation and convey an astonishingly logical, believable future. The three stories present a benign, moderate, and terrible outcome of the Y2K bug (not necessarily in that order). My only complaint is that they were too short -- I finished this book in three hours, and it felt more like 30 minutes. Anyway, it's very easy to read, and now I really think I have a more balanced view of the risks of the Millennium Bug. Maybe I'll read it again tonight to see if I missed anything. And even though I'm not as scared of Y2K as I was before I read the book, I'll probably still stock up on bottled water and canned goods, and maybe buy a few gold coins and a generator, too, just in case...

Summary: Fascinating, thought provoking & entertaining
Comment: 3 stories of potential Y2K problems, ranging from the mild to the severe. Well written, any of these could happen and more. Makes you think if you should be prepared (you should) for the impending crisis.
