The people who take over the lamp-signalling systems call themselves crackers, "because flashers was already taken". Read the book and you’ll see it’s not really an analogy.

Abigail Nussbaum (whose opinion on such matters I respect) says more or less the same thing about his most recent efforts, but more eloquently and with more nuance -- almost enough to convince me to give him another try. http://wrongquestions.blogspot.com/2006/01/not-with-bang-but-with-thud-or-whither.html My personal earlier favourites: Small Gods, Reaper Man (might need one other to introduce the mythos first), Men At Arms. Heh — nice review ^_^
