An action-forward, near-future romp that paints an interesting picture of neuro-connectivity. Though preachy at times, this is an interesting pro-technology narrative that reads like an action movie.

A pretty quick read, Nexus offers a contemplative perspective on what it could mean for humans and computers to be connected as one communal organism. Exploring the hopeful and the ugly side of futurism, this is a great book for a thoughtful Saturday afternoon.
