A witty book which may appeal more to Americans - and to anyone who dislikes Microsoft. It's about an architect, her computer-genius husband, their clever but fragile daughter and their life in Seattle which sounds almost dystopian. Told from different viewpoints in an epistolary style, it's a good read if a little far-fetched and packs too many hobby horses into one story.
