Crux by Ramez Naam
4.0

Crux picked up where Nexus left off, letting us see the impact of a post-human technology being used by the masses. It's a stronger novel than the first book. Though I enjoyed Nexus, it could get a little preachy at times—pushing the underlying ideas a little too heavily. Crux seems more mature. It still explores some really interesting concepts, but it feels better integrated into the story this time.

I also really appreciate how the ideas in the book are backed by current technological advancements. In both this and Nexus, Naam follows the last chapter up with a section describing how similar technologies are being used in real-life today.

Really looking forward to book #3.
