About this listen
"Nexus is the most brilliant hard SF thriller I’ve read in years. It’s smart, it’s gripping, and it describes a chilling reality that is all-too-plausible. Ramez Naam is a name to watch for." (Brenda Cooper, author of The Silver Ship and the Sea and The Creative Fire Mankind Gets an Upgrade)
In the near future, the nano-drug Nexus can link mind to mind. There are some who want to improve it. There are some who want to eradicate it. And there are others who just want to exploit it. When a young scientist is caught improving Nexus, he’s thrust over his head into a world of danger and international espionage, with far more at stake than anyone realizes.

Would you listen to Nexus again? Why?
For the early chapters of the book I felt both the author and narrator were struggling to find their feet and I didn't find it easy to immerse myself in the tale but knowing now that they both hit their stride I'd go back and re-visit those early chapters.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The book has made me re-evaluate some human concepts that I simply took for granted, it makes you think a little outside of the human comfort zone in a way that not even another sci-fi book has done before.Any additional comments?
Stick with it if like me you find the early chapters a little less than stellar - it improves significantly as the book goes on. I'm halfway through the sequel now and it's excellent.Pleasantly surprised by the quality

What made the experience of listening to Nexus the most enjoyable?
Seems to paint a future not too far away but with profound consequences for Man. The technology explored seems plausible and the way people/societies react to it equally so, That's what made this a great read for me.What other book might you compare Nexus to, and why?
Can't compare it to anything else I've read, it was quite refreshing.Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Not sure I've heard Luke before, but he did a great job characterising the various players, really brought the story to life for me.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Rather than a book that I listened to "as and when" I had the chance, I made time to listen once I got hooked into it. That's rare for me.Any additional comments?
Shame it had to end!A great plausible premise and full of twists,
