Nexus is a techno-thriller that gives a chilling look into the direction mind-linking technology might take, and how it could change our world. Nexus 5 is a system that can be run on a human mind, allowing networking between minds as well as a new level of control over one's own body. The story was fast-paced and exciting, though the intensity of the violence sometimes exceeded my comfort level. The characters did not always seem emotionally consistent to me, and they also sometimes felt more like standard types representing various viewpoints than well-developed individuals. However, I am very interested in these kinds of near-future stories about the effects of technology extrapolated forward from current research, and I will probably be continuing the series with the second novel, Crux!
