The story is set in the mid-21st century and includes excerpts of documents which refers to (future) historical events which give a compelling sense of verisimilitude to the book. There is a lot of clever-sounding technobabble involving computational neuroscience, programming and biology that will appeal to most scientifically oriented readers.Īdditionally, the world building of Nexus is top notch. The main character is Kade Lane, a late-stage graduate student who has discovered a breakthrough to expand the Nexus operating system to enhance the duration and intensity by which human brains can interact with each other remotely. I was skeptical at first about this book (there's a LOT of mumbo jumbo and touchy-feely language in the very beginning) but I became increasingly enthralled since after the opening sequence Nexus hurtles along at a breakneck pace, introducing nuanced and interesting dilemmas for the characters as the story rushes forward.Īny STEM academic will recognize the cultural milieu in which much of the story in Nexus takes place. Excellent SCIENCE fiction action-packed thriller! ![]()
