Magic and technology get mashed up, linking many of his worlds in one improbable multiverse. 
I like it. 
I haven’t read this book for a few decades, so excuse me if you find it little more than indulgent teenage fun. 
This quote pretty much sums it up:
‘a transdimensional gizmo that means all his characters can meet up with each other and characters from other books, and, as often as not, end up having sex’ 
Robert A Heinlein

An oblique
but familiar future. Biotech and neural interfaces have given voice to
locked-in intelligences, mosquitos are subsidised and the internet is
dying. It is a world desiccated by soulless algorithms, pacified beneath
the battle-suit’s boot and numbed by the bewitching voice of computational
propaganda. 
Struggling
for dignity and against irrelevance, rebellious minds must seek meaning beyond
the cultural desert:
Stella Sagong struggles with poverty and
exploitation, while living above a brothel on a huge floating tuna farm.
Niato Musiani, rejecting privilege allows
himself to be recruited into a life of eco-insurgency.
Keith Wilson attempts to cling onto his archaic
sense of ethics while grinding against suffocation by corporate morality.
