For a first novel, WTF has an impressive sense of place and character, a real, rumpled, lived-in feel. That's about the best I can say for it, though, given the glaring issues of pacing (starts slow, gets slower, then winds up in a rush of hugely unbelievable plot twists), of plot (see: "unbelievable"), and of tone. A stronger editor might be just the ticket; as it stands, I am sorry I took the proffered comparisons to Stephenson and Gibson seriously.
