Winner of the 2014 Prometheus Award Mankind gets an upgrade In the near future, the experimental nano-drug Nexus can link humans together, 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 – for there is far more at stake than anyone realizes. From the halls of academe to the halls of power, from the headquarters of an elite US agency in Washington DC to a secret lab beneath a top university in Shanghai, from the underground parties of San Francisco to the illegal biotech markets of Bangkok, from an international neuroscience conference to a remote monastery in the mountains of Thailand – Nexus is a thrill ride through a future on the brink of explosion. File Under: Science Fiction [Humanity 2.0 | Mind Matters | Hive | This Will Happen] From the Trade Paperback edition.

Modern sci-fi at its best. The tech is plausible and raises several issues we will all be dealing with soon. Can't wait to finish the series.
