The Light of Other Days - Rated Worth Reading

The Light of Other Days is a neat little thought experiment of how society might deal with capacity to have all information, past and present, available all the time. It deals with everything from the breakdown in privacy to the change in how scientist work. Like most of Baxter's books, it is great material for pondering upon. However, also like most of Baxter's books, the characters lack depth and Baxter still really needs to hire a good proof reader and editor. All in all, there's some very good ideas in this book and it is a very enjoyable read, but the execution is a touch lacking.
