Review

A lot of science fiction ideas coming out of quantum mechanics are to be found in this story. Ideas that I have ahd thoughts of concerning the nature of reality and experiments like Scroedinger’s cat. Along the way we are taken on a journey through some intense personal lives and a lot of thought about how this technology might affect the world. The book could have gone farther with the changes to the world, but I think it is wisely somewhat restrained. But everything necessary for a great science fiction novel are here - excellent writing, great characters, fast paced narrative, a story that keeps you turning pages and a gonzo idea. This is why I love the genre. Highly recommended!
