A review by crimsoncor
Deception Well by Linda Nagata

5.0

Radically different from the first book. Make a big timeline jump. Lot is such a fascinating character for exploring ideas of free will vs biological heritage.
Spoiler The ending coming full circle with Nikko showing up was wild
. I really like how Nagata doesn't stress too much about the "how" of the tech instead dealing with the impacts. Reminds me a lot of Peter Hamilton's from a decade later (yup, she got there first again). Assuming this level of technology, what sort of crazy things might a human civilization be capable of.
