Slower... slower... too slow! too slow!

Now, first of all, I must comment on the author's projection of herself on the story. I understand she's gay and everything, and that's fine, but did she have to make everyone else gay too? I mean aside from the men, I can hardly find a woman in the book who wasn't a lesbian. Her boss, her rescuer, her mother even...kind of... It was a good book, no question, but I find it rather unprofessional to make almost every character in the author's image- at least so far as sexual preference anyway. Was the author really preposing that everyone in the future will be gay? Or does she justify all of this with a string of coincidences? And I mean a lot of coincidences. Whatever...
Now, on to the book itself. Is it cyberpunk? I don't think so. There was really no matrix-style computer interfacing in the book. Mainly, the futuristic aspects were the slates and the PIDA's. Aside from the casual references to the tubes and the "library", this book was pretty straight forward. At times, I felt as if I was reading a space opera. The pages weren't exactly soaked with drama, but it was still there- just, not in space... But it's not space opera. It's not cyberpunk. And it's definitly not hard science, so what is it? Why are you asking me? I'm no sci-fi geek. I'm a horror man.
Frankly, I really like the way the book read. It was kind of like Deepness in the Sky, except there were three different narratives, and they were in shorter sections, which I think is better. No matter which part I was reading, I was gaining a deeper insight as to who this "Lore" character was. And I was never disappointed when one section ended and the next began, because then I was able to apply what I had learned to this next perspective. This system made for a very enjoyable read.
