Ellen Ullman goes mainstream

Well, at any rate the NYT has reviewed her novel, The Bug. Flattering review, too. Quote:

“Ullman has already established herself as an indispensable voice out of the world of technology in her memoir, ”Close to the Machine” (1997), and in her essays for Wired, Salon and Harper’s Magazine, where last year she published a remarkable essay titled ”Programming the Post-Human,” about robotics and the spark of life. She is neither a booster cum franchiser of the latest terms and gadgets nor a Luddite with an ax to grind — Ullman is a knowledgeable skeptic reporting from inside the walls of a holy city closed to most of us and, to top things off, she is an accomplished stylist.”
