lizshayne 's review for:

Nexus by Ramez Naam
3.0

Also part of the "last year's Campbell catch up" list.
Really entertaining technothriller that did a great job of thinking about technologies capacities for both great good and evil. Nicely handled narrative with good main characters who felt like fully realized human beings and whose inner emotions made sense.
But the star here was the neuro-tech and Naam's attention to how such things would work, spread, and change the world was definitely the highlight of the book.
