In
this sequel to Bohacz's Immortality, two years after the
devastation of mass human extinctions in kill zones, mankind is still grasping
for survival. An oppressive union of government and big business controls an
exhausted America, which is divided between walled-in Protectorates and the
unpoliced Outlands. Against this chaotic backdrop, paleobiologist and genetic
researcher Mark Freedman and policewoman Sarah Mayfair continue their evolution
into transhumance - nanotech hybrids with a connection to the god machine, the
artificial intelligence that caused the recent massacres, in an effort to
derail the destruction of the Earth's biosphere. Bohacz provides mind-bending
portrayals of factions vying for power and reflections on the essence and
fragility of humanity. But philosophical concerns never obtrude on the
fast-paced plot, as authorities investigate communes of hybrids, and Freedman
and Mayfair must choose between absorption into a collective mind or fidelity
to their remaining humanity. The question of who can be trusted impels the
reader to keep turning the pages of this highly satisfying and dynamic
techno-thriller.
My
Impressions:
Brilliant
follow up book to Immorality that I
loved. This book though will not stand on its own and will confuse you if
you do not read the first book. If you had read the first one than you see that
this one picks up a few years after the "God Machine" plagues that
started as an outpouring of wrath for humans not taking care of the
Earth.
If you
love science and phenomenon's surrounds telepathy, precognitive &
lucid dreams, etc you will adore this book. The author does a great job
creating a model trying to get us to think outside the box and really explore
the chemistry and science behind our consciousness.
The story
has so many twists and turns that are suspense filled all the way through that
you never know where it is going to go. Every time you think you got a grasp on
the realities within you find out you are wrong. Kevin does give us the
satisfaction of the epilogue that takes place 10 years
into the future and really sums things up nicely, so you dont get left
hanging.
