Armitage III: Poly-Matrix · review

Trying not to be biased here, because time has changed my tastes somewhat and other opinions have made me think about it harder than I originally did, so this is tainted. Probably not the right word, but we'll roll with that. On the surface we have a standard cyberpunk cop story set on Mars, with Naomi Armitage meeting her new partner, Ross Syllabus. He's a cyborg with a deep disdain for electronic lifeforms, and it turns out she is secretly the next big step in that direction. And looking back this where it's issues lie. An android capable of human conception?Is it even possible? OR necessary? Add some odd interpretations of feminism and it's not the best write looking back. It was okay even though I never realized it was very flawed.

But it was a gateway title for me. One of the first I'd seen and it stuck in my memory because of that. I like the style, the soundtrack is good, and it was future spacey enough that I paid money for it when I had no way to get money.

So warts and all, it's worth a watch. An icon from the time when a Pioneer label wasn't a historical relic.
