Virtual worlds are nothing new to science fiction, having been deeply explored in cyberpunk. Justina Robson takes us to a new kind of virtual universe, less of computer geeks and the Internet and more of alien gods, metal angels and strange chimeric combinations of man and beast. In a blend of part technology and part fable, everything seems possible in Living Next Door to the God of Love, especially if that god is in love with you.
