Reviews for Apex

"A blisteringly paced technothriller that dives deeper and even better into the chunky questions raised by Nexus. This is a fabulous book, and it ends in a way that promises at least one more. Count me in." Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother and Pirate Cinema "Smart, thoughtful, and hard to drop, this richly nuanced sequel outshines its predecessor with ... Read morea wide cast of characters and some complicated, uneasy questions about power, responsibility, and the future of humanity." Publishers Weekly "Crux does what sci-fi is supposed to do: Leave you staring into a future you never thought of. Make you wonder where you would fit. And challenge previous sci-fi scenarios." - Tom Shippey, The Wall Street Journal "Potent like Naam's vividly imagined nano-drug Nexus, Crux is a heady cocktail of ideas and page-turning prose. It left my brain buzzing for days afterwards." - Hannu Rajaniemi, author of The Quantum Thief and The Fractal Prince "Nexus and Crux are a devastating probe into the political consequences of transhumanism; a sharp, chilling look at our likely future." - Charles Stross "A blisteringly paced technothriller that dives deeper and even better into the chunky questions raised by Nexus. This is a fabulous book, and it ends in a way that promises at least one more. Count me in." - Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother "Smart, thoughtful, and hard to drop, this richly nuanced sequel outshines its predecessor with a wide cast of characters and some complicated, uneasy questions about power, responsibility, and the future of humanity." - Publishers Weekly "Highly recommended for preparation of the future revolution." - Harper Reed, former CTO of Obama for America "A brilliant book, full of mind-blowing tech drawn in highly believable fashion. Naam's action sequences carry a brutal intensity, and every time you think he'll finally let you breathe the stakes rise even higher." - Jason M. Hough, New York Times best-selling author of The Darwin Elevator "Crux is an outstanding speculative fiction adventure - in the same league as Michael Crichton and Daniel Suarez. Put it at the top of your summer reading list!" - Scientific American "Sublime. This book is speculative fiction at its finest. Mr. Naam masterfully mobilizes the zeitgeist of contemporary political and tech culture. Tempts readers with equal parts dread and optimism. This is not a book to be missed." - Page of Reviews "Readers of Ramez Naam's techno-thriller Nexus will not want to miss the awesome sequel, Crux." - Kurzweil AI "Crux does the work of great science fiction. It makes the reader look closely and critically at what kind of world we're building here and now." - Kent Peterson "Naam's writing is always strong, fluid and sure. With gripping, heart-pounding action scenes and muscle-binding tension normally reserved for horror stories, Crux is a book you don't want to miss." - Allways Unmended "A worthy sequel that reads like a mash-up of Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy, Naam's cyberpunk thriller is even better than the original." - SF Signal "I found myself tearing through the pages as chapters flew by from different characters' perspectives until the final pieces fall into place.If you enjoyed Nexus you will absolutely love Crux." - My Bookish Ways "Crux would probably work fantastically as a movie and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a whole franchise spawning from Naam's creations. [...] Until then we should enjoy the thought provoking, but ultimately fun, workings of Nexus 5." -upcoming4.me Show Less
