Awesome, but Impractical: The "Bruce Lee" program that Rangan gives Kade uses a VR fighting game's algorithm to take over the body's motor controls and fight for you.Some of them don't even get dramatic deaths they're there one second, and the next they've succumbed to a burst from a mind-controlled ally, or committed suicide in complete loneliness. Everybody else - and this includes complex characters the author's spent half the book developing - is definitely not safe. Anyone Can Die: Up to the second book, a very small number of key characters seem to get out of every hairy situation alive - though not always unscathed - through the powers of plot.Naam does his best to stick to technologies that can logically be progressed from current studies in bio-engineering and includes a follow-up in both "Nexus" and its sequel "Crux" that describes the experiments that he used as his basis.Īll books in this Series provide examples of: Written by Ramez Naam, author of "More Than Human: Embracing the Promise of Biological Enhancement" and "The Infinite Resource: The Power of Ideas on a Finite Planet", the Nexus Series delves headfirst into transhumanism as seen in a possible future based on the emerging technology and political climate of the 21st century. Things of course become a bit more complicated than that. If he goes over to Thailand and meets with celebrated neuroscientist Su-Yong Shu (whom the ERD suspects is developing mind controlling technology and clones for the Chinese), then Kade's friends won't spend the rest of their lives in jail. However, the ERD is willing to cut a deal with Kade. Kaden "Kade" Lane and his friends figure out how to make the effect permanent with Nexus 5 and are just starting to figure out how far they can go with the new BMI when Samantha Cataranes, an agent for the newly established Emerging Risks Directorate, bust him and his friends for drug distribution.
It's the year 2040, and one of the newest drugs on the street is Nexus 3, a concoction of nanomachines that temporarily creates a brain machine interface (BMI) for the user that allows them to run software on their own brain.
