Nexus is an enjoyable techno-thriller and I am blown away by how well Mez writes in this genre. It is always refreshing to be challenged by new ideas; The reader willingly suspends disbelief and a few formulaic character tropes in order to enjoy the thrilling plot twists, story and awesome technology.
I am dictating this review into Google's Android offline (no network) speech-to-text system, which itself was recently science fiction.
The big idea at the center of the book is therapeutic and positive applications for augmentation of humanity via drugs. Mez explores the idea using hard science, broadly in great detail, unlike previous sci-fi stories I have read about human augmentation, which were softer and concentrate on social implications.
