...individual from his native-born society, his home, only to be thrust into the melting pot (read: salad shooter) of America. In "Asia/America: Identities in Contemporary Asian American Art," therefore, not surprisingly the themes of loss, separation, and alienation dominate overtly. But as each artist lets these general ideas churn on the surface, the deeper psychological effects of such attacks on identity gradually bubble up, too, revealing more tortured, distinct individual sufferings...
...course, these problems are merely symptomatic of the larger problem of these technothriller novels: self-absorption on behalf of the author. We can imagine the writer, typing away at his word processor (another spur to novel-writing these days: anyone with WordPerfect and memories of comic book adventures can churn out a 400-pager in a few days and modem it away) loath to omit any bit of abstruse technological research accrued over many sleepless nights of study.

In one bedroom police found eight copying machines that could churn out 130 floppy disks an hour. Another bedroom contained fat stacks of glittering hologram stickers -- laser-produced, three-dimensional images that are supposed to guarantee the authenticity of store-bought software. The third bedroom held boxes of stolen computer chips, worth more per ounce than crack cocaine. And in the living room piles of fake Microsoft user's guides spilled from open cartons...
