Summary

"Nexus is the most brilliant hard SF thriller I’ve read in years. It’s smart, it’s gripping, and it describes a chilling reality that is all-too-plausible. Ramez Naam is a name to watch for." (Brenda Cooper, author of The Silver Ship and the Sea and The Creative Fire Mankind Gets an Upgrade)

In the near future, the nano-drug Nexus can link mind to mind. There are some who want to improve it. There are some who want to eradicate it. And there are others who just want to exploit it. When a young scientist is caught improving Nexus, he’s thrust over his head into a world of danger and international espionage, with far more at stake than anyone realizes.

What made the experience of listening to Nexus the most enjoyable?

Seems to paint a future not too far away but with profound consequences for Man. The technology explored seems plausible and the way people/societies react to it equally so, That's what made this a great read for me.

What other book might you compare Nexus to, and why?

Can't compare it to anything else I've read, it was quite refreshing.

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Not sure I've heard Luke before, but he did a great job characterising the various players, really brought the story to life for me.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Rather than a book that I listened to "as and when" I had the chance, I made time to listen once I got hooked into it. That's rare for me.

Any additional comments?

Shame it had to end!

A great plausible premise and full of twists,

It was like an american popcorn movie, with a lot of boring action, although there were interesting concepts that haven't been used much.

Too much action for my liking
