Me too, as it happens.

Having thought about it for a few days now, I think Harkaway's book is at least as good as its predecessor, and possibly better in some ways.  There's still plenty of the 'down these mean streets jaded PI ' vibe to it but it has a bit more depth and complexity in the contemplation of what time means to baseline humans and how it manifests to Titans.  I still would highly recommend both of these books.

And I noticed that the BSFA Award winners have been announced.  The only one I've read so far is Adrian Tchaikovsky's novella Saturation Point, which I thought was excellent and am also happy to recommend.
