About this listen

"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.

Very captivating

Got me wondering what our own future will hold... And the decisions I would make in said future.

Captivating and artful storytelling

I really enjoyed how the plot kept on twisting and turning and how the story focused more on the main characters and their philosophical dilemma rather than the technology this book is about. The story is dark, violent, and at times the action is relentless, but its main message is hopeful. I personally loved the narrator and how he composed all the different characters. I could however see how that might bother or distract some listeners.

Mindblowing

Incredible story, and prescient. Some heavy and possibly triggering backstory but it did not seem prurient. I'd prefer that the voice actor would not try to do foreign accents. Some bad stereotypical Chinese accents that pulled me out of the story a bit. Fantastic overall, nonetheless.
