Historia
You can't militarize space. This one rule has led to decades of peaceful development of space programs worldwide. However, increasing resource scarcity and a changing climate on Earth's surface is causing some interested parties - namely India, the North American Union, and the Sinese Federation - to militarize. The discovery of a strange artifact by Dr. Alayna Wong precipitates a crisis. What appears to be a hitherto undiscovered comet is soon revealed to be an alien structure on a cometary trajectory toward the sun.

Too long, good finale
Revisado: 01-22-16
The storyline is clean, the idea is good (not new but some original perks). The book includes many side details which make it too long to my taste, and at some points lacking action and even boring. Strong finale, which if fact could be more detailed.

Historia
The explosive conclusion to Nexus and Crux. Global unrest spreads through the US, China, and beyond. Secrets and lies set off shockwaves of anger, rippling from mind to mind. Riot police battle neutrally linked protestors. Armies are mobilized. Political orders fall. Nexus-driven revolution is in here. Against this backdrop a new breed of post-human children are growing into their powers.

Nice apex of the series
Revisado: 09-04-15
The book listens well overall and is an good continuation of the series. I'm impressed by the research done by Ramez and his imagination. Especially I liked the idea of being as close to real science as possible assuming fiction nature of the book. This is what I appreciate in science fiction novels, vs Hollywood style pop products.
On the other hand the book feel longer and less dynamic than previous two, with less action and more psychological-sociological analysis.
The narration by Stephanie is good overall but sometimes too emotional and fake Chinese accent is not always a good fit. Also I found I sometimes got confused by character names which sound similarly, e.g. Kade vs Kate, and had problems identifying characters with Chinese origin names.
Overall thank you very much Ramez and Stephanie for wonderful 18h of a dream and inspiration.

Historia
In the spirit of Steve Jobs and Moneyball, Elon Musk is both an illuminating and authorized look at the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley's most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs - a real-life Tony Stark - and a fascinating exploration of the renewal of American invention and its new makers.

Wonderful and inspiring

Every geek should read this book. Reads better than many sci-fi novels, but it's real. Energy, sufferings, and master goal.
