I really enjoyed this book for the most part. The first two stories were real page turners, but the third (the last 30 pages) felt rushed and was a bit to metaphysical for me. The ending is forced and hardly and ending to the story as a whole. I would have like to see the first two stories made into books of their own and the third thrown in the bin.

Intelligent. and beautiful. I was moved and love this book.

This was a surprising, fascinating read. I am turned on by his stark, earthy and pure poetry. Daniel is immensely imaginative, intelligent and courageous writer. I was moved and inspired. I definitely enjoyed 'Earthling'. Looking forward to the sequel of 'Metaplanetary'- another must read!

First off, this is a great book. A really wonderfull book. And the best thing I can really say about it is that it got me interested in science fiction again, after a long hiatus. The book takes on a theme made popular in the golden age of science fiction; artificial inteligence. But Daniel give the subject a really great feel. He dosent make the mistake of trying to make the robot yearn for humanity. But it is a compassionate intelligence experiencing intense relationships with humans. but maybe i am over analyzing. let me leave it at this: this is a great book, even if you have never read science fiction.
