The main character's idea of using a gigantic electromagnetic fan to drive the current atmosphere away from the planetary body was only slightly illogical. The terraforming ideas for Venus felt extremely illogical to me. I can't quite put my finger on why, but I couldn't buy this. Every human has the ability to fly interplanetary distances like Superman. This quickly took me out of the book, as the main character starts the day by commuting to Venus from Vancouver in an hour. The nanotech itself made everyone on earth superhuman, able to generate a magnetic field that protected them from even the dangers of open space, as well as allow them to fly great distances incredibly fast. Why would humans give up their rights to privacy in this instance? And why would both divorce and extramarital affairs be illegal in a world with no ability to hid the affair or even the desire for an affair?

If, in the case of the main character, a person has strong sexual attraction to someone that is not their wife, this fact is emailed to everyone close to the person. But too much about the details of the novel, especially the science parts left me unable to finish the book.Įvery human in the world is connected to a worldwide network through nans (nanotechnology), and through this their every thought is recorded. The concept was intriguing five nano-enhanced humans return to Earth from a Venusian terraforming expedition to discover the entire human race wiped out in an instant.

If, in the c I wanted to like this book, but I found myself unable to finish it.
