Fairyland was a novel that I appreciated more than I enjoyed. It takes place in a bleak but fascinating future, where peoples' minds are easily manipulated by nanotechnology and blue-skinned gengineered "dolls" are in common use. The story follows Alex's pursuit of the genius girl Milena, after they jointly uplift these dolls into sentient "fairies". While the ideas were really interesting, I always felt a little too detached from the characters, including the fairies, to ever become really drawn into the story. Though it's not exactly to my current tastes, I think it is a book that was worth reading.
