A review by rjnn
Crux by Ramez Naam
4.0
It's an action packed sequel to Nexus. If you liked Nexus this is a pretty good followup. It reads very Crichton-ey, and the " applied phlebotinum" is mostly coherent. Naam has a good grip on computer science, and that's a pleasant change from other non-engineer authors who make shit up that doesn't add up.
On the other hand, this isn't a mind blowingly good book the way Nexus is. Mostly because all the mind-blowing was done in Nexus, and there isn't a significant value-add in Crux. But I enjoyed it nevertheless.
