Island in the Net, Bruce Sterling (startrek.website)

So I just finished Island in the Net and I’m not sure that I got the propos

I feel that there’s something behind the book, something I cannot put my finger on.

Is it a tale against globalization? Is Rizome was the bad guy all along? Am I not old enough to understand a 88 book ?
