Ramez Naam’s debut near future technological thriller, NEXUS (Angry Robot Books, January 2013), is getting great early buzz, including this fantastic review from Booklist!
“Naam, an expert in new technologies and author of More Than Human: Embracing the Promise of Biological Enhancement (2005), turns in a stellar performance with his debut sf novel….Naam has set himself a difficult challenge here: he’s telling a story in which much of the action and dialogue takes place inside the characters’ minds. But he succeeds admirably: one scene, in particular, in which a character races to make changes to the Nexus system by reprogramming it inside his own head, is nail-bitingly tense….What matters here is the remarkable scope of the story and its narrative power.”
