Publisher Description

“Nexus is the most brilliant hard SF thriller I’ve read in years. It’s smart, it’s gripping, and it describes a chilling reality that is all-too-plausible… Ramez Naam is a name to watch for.” —Brenda Cooper, author of The Silver Ship and the Sea and The Creative Fire

Mankind gets an upgrade

In the near future, the nano-drug Nexus can link 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, with far more at stake than anyone realizes.

“Any old writer can take you on a roller-coaster ride, but it takes a wizard like Ramez Naam to take you on the same ride while he builds the roller coaster a few feet in front of your plummeting car…You’ll want to read it before everyone’s talking about it.”

— John Barnes, author of the Timeline Wars and Daybreak series 

Quotes

    — Wall Street Journal
  • “Good. Scary good.”

    — Wired
