Nexus
by Ramez Naam, review at A
Fantastical Librarian
In the
near future, the experimental nano-drug Nexus can link human together, mind to
mind. There are some who want to improve it. There are some who want to
eradicate it. And there are others who just want to exploit it.
When a
young scientist is caught improving Nexus, he’s thrust over his head into a
world of danger and international espionage – for there is far more at stake
than anyone realizes.
From the halls of academe to the halls of power, from the
headquarters of an elite US agency in Washington DC to a secret lab beneath a
top university in Shanghai, from the underground parties of San Francisco to
the illegal biotech markets of Bangkok, from an international neuroscience
conference to a remote monastery in the mountains of Thailand – Nexus is a
thrill ride through a future on the brink of explosion.
