An Activist in the Progressive Era

The Reverend Mark Matthews

"Good. Scary Good."-Wired"Provocative... A double-edged vision of the post-human." -The Wall Street Journal&#160;"A lightning bolt of a novel, with a sense of awe missing from a lot of current fiction." -Ars Technica&#160;"Starred Review.&#160;Naam turns in a stellar performance in his debut SF novel... What matters here is the remarkable scope and narrative power of the story." -Booklist"A rich cast of characters...the action scenes are crisp, the glimpses of future tech and culture are mesmerizing."-&#160;Publishers Weekly&#160;&ldquo;Naam displays a Michael Crichton-like ability to explain cutting-edge research via the medium of an airport techno-thriller.&rdquo; &ndash;SFX Magazine&#160;"A superbly plotted high-tension technothriller ... full of delicious, thoughtful moral ambiguity ... a hell of a read." -Cory Doctorow"Nexus&#160;and&#160;Crux&#160;are a devastating probe into the political consequences of transhumanism; a sharp, chilling look at our likely future."&#160;&ndash; Charles Stross,&#160;author of Singularity Sky and Halting State"A gripping piece of near future speculation... all the grit and pace of&#160;the Bourne films."&#160;-Alastair Reynolds,&#160;author of&#160;Revelation Space"The most brilliant hard SF thriller I've read in years.&#160;Reminds me of Michael Crichton at his best."&#160;-Brenda Cooper, author of&#160;The Creative Fire"Any old writer can take you on a roller coaster ride, but it takes a wizard like Ramez Naam to take you on the same ride while he builds the roller coaster a few feet in front of your plummeting car...&#160;you'll want to read it before everyone's talking about it." -&#160;John Barnes, author of the&#160;Timeline Wars&#160;and&#160;Daybreak&#160;series."An incredibly imaginative, action-packed intellectual romp! Ramez Naam has turned the notion of human liberty and freedom on its head by forcing the question: Technology permitting, should we be free to radically alter our physiological and mental states?"- Dani Kollin,&#160;Prometheus award winning author of&#160;The Unincorporated Man"The only serious successor to Michael Crichton working in the future history genre today."&#160;- Scott Harrison, author of&#160;Archangel&#160;"If you are posthuman or transhuman this is an absolute must-read for you;&#160;and even mere mortals will love it."&#160;-&#160;Philip Palmer, author of&#160;Version 43&#160;and&#160;Hell Ship&#160;"Ramez writes excellent action sequences, incorporating his technology well, and the lives at stake are more than just cardboard cutouts. No one in this story is 'as meets the eye'"&#160;- Timothy C. Ward&#160;"a fast, fun read which is both emotionally engaging and thought-provoking.&#160;You'll be mulling over the implications of Nexus &mdash; the book and the drug &mdash; long after you put the book down."-Analee Newitz, io9.com&#160;
