I have always admired how the author makes it easy for us to feel like we know the characters and I often consider their next move before reading further. The future developments in technology and fusion with our consciousness were believable, and the practical and philosophical concerns played out with ease. I enjoyed the twist and connections of the plot. Engaging characters, story and prose!
