The review itself:
By creating Currently Untitled, Ian McLeod has brought to us the reality
of two worlds in one: a man struggling to write & a stifled writer brooding
due to his success. These two worlds, w/out having previously known one
another, are brought by fellow characters to cross paths, allowing the story to
unfold. Both have already succeeded in their individual fortunes, but the difference
is one has a published book over which the populous is raving & the other
aspires to have the same. The main character, Angus begins by greatly admiring
who is in essence his opposite, the successful writer. When their paths cross,
each world is subjected to ripples, which evolve into waves. By the conclusion
of the story, one could say a tsunami is created, & unexpected chaos erupts.
Upon its finish one may be stunned by the wild turn of events in how the two
worlds clash together. What message is left by Ian’s story line leaves our
minds to boggle. In the prequel: Dead Tree Version, we will no-doubt learn more
about Darwin, who is the opposing character to Angus in Currently Untitled.
