I… don’t like his work, I don’t think, anyway.
Judging from a very small sample size, I grant.
To me it seems very full of Robert Downey Jr.-esqe winks and nods.
“See, it’s me” is what every one of Downey’s characters says all the time, despite what comes out of their mouths.
I find Stross smart dropping, like name dropping but different.
His works seem infused with the authors personal voice saying at all times “see how smart I am.”
Smart guy, I’ve no doubt. Maybe, for me, that message doesn’t need constant reinforcement.
But maybe that’s just me.
