And in this day and age, the Mob runs the pizza delivery service. You don't want to upset Uncle Enzo, since tangling with the Mafia on any terms is downright dangerous. has to help him deliver the pizza on time. Hiro's life takes an abrupt turn for the exciting when his Deliverator car is ruined, and a young Kourier named Y.T. He now sells information to the 'library' where he receives cash if someone requires the information. Hiro is also a freelance hacker who helped to devise a wonderful 'bar' in the Metaverse. sure, it is made up of computer-generated graphics, but it is much better than the real world.

Or as stated above, to get the housework done! Thankfully, I could relax and not worry, listening to Jonathan Davis's wonderfully rich and expressive voice tell me the entire tale of Hiro Protagonist, allowing me to close my eyes and visualize it for myself. For a work from 1992, I was surprised at the high demand - there is a waiting list at the library! This novel is bouncing around my fair city every two weeks. I know, I tracked it down out of curiosity. Thankfully, this didn't break up the continuity of the story at all. This adds a whole new dimension to term 'reading' and, while I was kind of surprised at the number of tapes (12), I couldn't replace tapes fast enough after one ran out. You know, it is easy to get your reading done while you do the housework, walk the dog or even have a shower - as long as the book is on audio tapes, that is.
