Review: Nexus

Nexus Nexus by Ramez Naam
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

This was marketed as adult sci-fi but it reads like YA action thriller. It's preachy, the science is logically inconsistent and more like magic than science, and it thinks it's talking about really complex ideas about the intersection of morality and science but it's pretty black and white. Also there are so many unnecessary and bland POVs. We didn't need to see Watson's reaction to EVERY THING that the other characters do; he would've been much more effective as a Chekov's gun. A few POVs are added more than halfway into the story and they are even less necessary.
