He also expresses optimism about Vietnam's future, especially in a capitalistic society. Let's just hope that Alexander leaves the whole pseudo-cyborg thing in the past as this character was a bore.
It would also help if Edie wasn't such a helpless waif most of the time as she constantly seems pushed about the novel's plot by the waves of the author's
