loginLike my earlier workThe Cambridge Quintet,this bookis not a novel; but it is a work of fiction, what I like tocall “scientific fiction.” The Japanese term for this kindof work is ash ̄osetsu.Such a work, while containing elementsof fiction, is more like a chronicle than a typical novel. In thiscase, it is an attempt to convey, partly in fiction, partly in fact,some of the intellectual issues associated with the dawning ofthe computer era.
