the faveorate thing i got that i started and failed to finish is about a guy who gets in trouble with the mafia, its set in london in the future. in order to stop the kids going out and shooting each other the goverment has legalised shooting in a special zone. people are allowed to gamble on the outcome of bouts and the goverment ususes the taxes to enforce tighter gun control on the streets. the guy who the book kinda focuses around is tooled with logic implants and a pshychotic level of analytical processing, to an illegal level as hes wiped out some pointless stuff, like a couple of emotions, and the fact he cant taste he just recieves the sensation as numerical data, hes a bit of a messed up junky though, so he needs loads of cash. so he makes bets with the underworld who will take bets well into a bout , even when people are wounded they will take odds,
and hes way too good at making money from his bets ..
