Cyber Way by Alan Dean Foster My rating: 2 of 5 stars I kind of liked this book, wanted to like it more, thought it was interesting, but ultimately couldn't finish it because the main protagonist, Moody, was so damn unlikeable.

It's about Mitchell Courtenay, a high ranking ad exec in a futuristic American society dominated by advertising. Indeed, it's virtually un-patriotic to not adhere to advertising's role in society. Mitch is given the …
