Ramez Naam

This was a very fun listen. It had (very) speculative neuroscience, nerdy grad students, buddhism, post-human special agents, "uploaded" scientists, lots of actions and plot full of exciting twists and turns. The narration was very good. I'll definitely be listening to the other two parts of the trilogy.

Fantastic. Cannot wait to start the second book.

I finished this book awhile ago. Between then and now I've been letting it settle into my bones, this surprising and satisfying third in the Nexus Trilogy. I am not sure I have ever read any tale this complex in which the ending was so thick with surprise, loss, and, despite that, also happiness.

The series is a wildly complex world-spanning, mind-expanding multi-roller-coaster ride and count yourself lucky that now all three are there for you. I had to WAIT!

This story hijacked my brain. I was not sure Naam could take it as far as I thought it needed to go.

Ha.

Boy could he.

As soon as its sequel came out, I read it too. I've pre-ordered the completion of the trilogy (Apex) because the second one (Crux) was even better with even more complexity!

If complex stories scare you, don't let that stop you here. The author is capable of doing the neurological priming you need. :)
