Su questo libro

Recensione:

Any old writer can take you on a roller coaster ride, but it takes a wizard like Ramez Naam to take you on the same ride while he builds the roller coaster a few feet in front of your plummeting car... you'll want to read it before everyone's talking about it. - John Barnes, author of the Timeline Wars and Daybreak series. --John Barnes, author of the Timeline Wars and Daybreak series.

NEXUS is a gripping piece of near future speculation, riffing on the latest developments in cognition enhancement. With all the grit and pace of the Bourne films, this is a clever and confident debut by a writer expertly placed to speculate about where we re heading. Unlike a lot of SF, this novel dares to look the future square in the eye. --Alastair Reynolds, bestselling author of Revelation Space and Blue Remembered Earth
