There is a way that the nanites spread and it could have been done in a way that was more sanitary it was kinda gross actually and took me out of the book. But the concept and execution of the story was great!

A great book. I can't wait to see what the author does next! I found the characters all so compelling. He really wove the story well so I felt the depth of the world-building without stretching the book out so it was super long.

The pacing in this ramps up sharply as the book goes along. At first you're just getting to know the characters. Then an initial event happens and there's a jump into a future where it seems like things have reached equilibrium. There's mysterious jumping back and forth, more character development, and some more character work. Then something else happens and everything gets dark. Seriously, I made the mistake of trying to finish the book at night, but I was too wound up to sleep.
