4.0

I want more near future science fiction like this. Trying to extrapolate potential breakthroughs on our horizons and explore what the world might look like with them as a fundamental part of society.

That being said, the vast majority of this book is mediocre at best. An editor should have cut at least a hundred pages out of this and reduced the number of new first person narrators in the story. There is a 5 star book here that was somewhat ruined by the middle portion of the book. I'm still giving it 4 stars because the ending is truly fantastic. This is a hopeful and emotionally satisfying resolution to a scary near future exploration. I expect to be mulling over the ideas introduced in this book for many years.
