Humanity Reinvented
First of all, my congratulations to the author, Douglas E. Richards, for writing a book that encompasses the breadth of knowledge of Quantum Physics, Artificial Intelligence and the most sophisticated Military Spyware I've ever read, in a way that a layperson can easily understand.
That being said, what a book! There is no way I could begin to recapitulate this massively twisted, technologically brilliant and mind-blowing conceptually masterful plot.
If your head doesn't hurt when you are done reading this book, you didn't understand what happened. Richard's concepts call into question everything that makes up humankind.
The simple synopsis is boy meets girl who isn't who she seems. Boy finds out who she is. After that, show more all bets are off. This is a long book but COMPLETELY worth every hour it takes to read. ***** Stars.
P. S. Read all of the appendix! That is a book in and of itself! show less

Not sure why all the love. This is a near future adventure tale that gets mired in theoretical data dumps and repetitive action sequences and dialog.
The passage when he finally decides to "put God in a box". Holy cow that entire story scared me to my core!
More like a 3.5 than a 3 really.
