Crux by Ramez Naam
3.0
Another book that took me forever to finish - but I fully blame work and other audios.
Crux was a really interesting book. It's the second installment of the Nexus series. I kind of wish it had either more or the same amount of action like the first book did - however, it didn't. Which means I did find myself being bored a little here and there.
The Nexus world is so freaking interesting and entertaining. I love getting to know more about the pros and cons of it all. I also really hope that this NEVER becomes a thing in real life. I'd probably freak out. Now of course with smart technology, I feel like anyone always thinks about the cons of it. For example, a car that drives itself.. you might be like..
"Could someone hack into my smart car and take over it??"
Although, it could just be me - which is why I would never own one. If you do think about this possibility though - it sort of happens in this book. Someone hacks into Nexus and ends up controlling anyone that has it. It was insane and again, freaked me out.
Overall, I liked the book but thought that things could have been a bit more dramatic? Or I just really wanted more action. Either way, I feel like something was missing and that's why I was a bit disappointed with this book. Still enjoyed it though and can't wait to dive into the next book.
