The novel was mentioned in Larry McCaffery’s list of the 100 greatest books of the 20th century, where it was described as:

“a haunting, lyrical novel [which] perfectly exemplifies the blend of the postmodern mainstream and SF to be found in the other two novels (i.e., DeLillo’s White Noise and Gibson’s Neuromancer) which best captured the vast, media-driven transformations at work in American life during the 80s.”

Ted Mooney died from heart disease on March 22, 2022, at the age of 70.
