Review:

An excellent, thrilling, spooky, paranoid journey into what was (in 2000) the near future, now the near past. You see this with references to VHS, and the differing formats, as well as “the team set to work with digital cameras.” Like there are other types of camera, still were in 2000. It was fast and loud nd in your face fiction, and yet still thought provoking. Main characters 3-D, supporting cast 2-D: FBI agents who say “dammit” a lot, but still a great read.
