Really clever sci-fi story. It's a semi-thriller about a pair of tech companies racing each other to change the world with enhanced humans. The story is told in the form of a documentary after the race is over. The conceit works well and nicely hides a clever twist at the end. Some funny bits and some great science fiction make this one of my favorite works by Hickman.

This was an odd book, but the last chapter brought it all together and made it great. It was kind slow since it was setup as if you were watching a documentary with a narrator who is doing interviews throughout to tell the story.

A strange, well-done story. Not really sure what to make of it - it's a satire of sorts, not always successful but not a failure either, but quick and interesting enough to be worth my time. Closer to a 3.5, I suppose, but I can't really figure out what I liked or disliked about it, if that makes any sense.

My favorite so far, from Hickman. Less of his paranoid, conspiracy theory atmosphere and a lot of his dark humor. This reminded me of a movie that I watched a couple of years and was never able to remember its title again. (I would forever be grateful if anyone knows the tile). It's a horror mockumentary (fake doc/found footage-esque) movie about an event in a facility where weird experiments had taken place. And we know about what happened documentary style, mixed with the found footage. Does anyone know what that movie is?
