This was a very interesting read! I kinda guessed where we were going from the beginning but it was a fun ride either way. John is an out of work computer programer whos wife Julia works for a tech company working with nanotechnology. When Julia begins to act strange John suspects infidelity or drugs but theres no way to tell what's really coming. This was pretty fast paced and the plot was just interesting enough to reel me in but not enough to spoil anything. I think this books real fault is all the science. I like when a book is rooted in actual science and possibilities but this book takes that to an extreme. Every other paragraph is a tirade of the inner workings of the technology and I just feel like it's not necessary. I found myself skimming over those paragraphs and never felt like I was missing anything.
