Just Read: Bellwether, by Connie Willis
[amazon.co.uk]
A researcher tries to work out why fads happen, whilst battling the bureaucracy of her company's trendy management (which is portrayed in a manner that should be familiar to any readers of the work of Scott Adams) and a particularly witless office dogsbody.
I was struck by a couple of things about this book. Firstly, it's not remotely Science Fiction (a bit of a surprise, but not a problem). Secondly, the structural and plot similarities with the same author's Passage (which is SF - just)
Otherwise, nothing special. 'Twas OK, but if Bellwether and Passage are typical CW books, then I have to say it's not really my kinda thing, and I'll probably go read something else instead in future.
