Woah. This is a book that might need to be read at least twice in order to catch all the terms, people, and situations in this story that I believe is simply too complex for a teen novel. Not that a teen couldn't read it and probably understand it, but that I don't think they would find relevant to themselves and their lives.
The pseudo-science in the story is pretty awesome to read about: nano-technological warfare between two secret groups, conjoined twins who want to make the human race more like a placid, multi-bodied hive mind, and those who want humans to have the choice of unhappiness.
The individual battles are deadly and quick, and people experience them simultaneously on the level of macro (the full-size human) and the nano (the combination of a spider, scorpion, and human cells). Each altercation makes a very deep wound in the strength of one group then the other, and who will ultimately win?
