About this listen
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 posthuman children are growing into their powers. And a once-dead scientist, driven mad by her torture, is closing in on her plans to seize the planet's electronic systems and reforge everything in her image. A new Apex species is here. The world will never be the same.

What did you like best about Apex? What did you like least?
The conclusion to the saga was quite enjoyable.What didn’t you like about Stephanie Canon’s performance?
the narrator Stephanie Canon did not suit the text at all. Her voice would have suited a childrens book and her character acting was terrible.Was Apex worth the listening time?
SureAny additional comments?
Changing the narrator from two males in two previous books to a female in the finale was a terrible choise.Decent ending for a good trilogy

By that measure, the Nexus trilogy is a modern masterpiece. Even more so given the series was completed and published in 2015.
Stephanie Cannon’s narration is wonderful; drawing the listener in, and painting a rich world in the mind... no silvery liquid yet required..!
The gripping action, technical complexity and political nuance balance each other well. Some of the darkest and most bright aspects of humanity are eloquently conveyed. The characters’ diversity-yet near universal enduring of suffering so that others may know peace-leaves a lasting impression.
If such Nexus technology becomes a reality, it will almost definitely develop in a completely different way to the stories in Nexus, Crux and Apex. Yet, as with much Sci-Fi before it, and hopefully much more to come after , Ramez Naam has built an accessible, enjoyable, and thought provoking work on a world-changing subject.
Highly recommended, especially for those studying computer science, neuroscience and with a general interest in the neck and neck race between our humanity and our technology, who are after a good and hard work of science fiction.
