Influx by Daniel Suarez
4.0

I was fairly skeptical at the beginning of the book, the amount of technobabel was astounding and somewhat off-putting. Suarez, however, wove it all together and created one of his trademark thrillers, from about chapter 7 to the end I was all in.

One particular section of the book had a huge effect on me, the prison they put John in was absolutely and completely horrifying to me, I will have nightmares about it probably for the rest of my life. Everyone has triggers. Spiders, snakes, child abuse, teenage love triangles, whatever, this prison is mine by a long shot.
Spoiler not being able to control anything about your body or your mind and having your memories taken away
is something Suarez should have damn well left inside his own head and not freaked me out.

Great book that was a bit formulaic and heavy on the jargon.
