Definitely a fan of this book. It starts off rather slowly (and thanks to Kade - awkwardly) but picks up quickly. I have always been a huge fan of books dealing with aspects of the technological singularity, especially ideas of trans/post humanism (movies not so much - I'm looking at you Transcendence). The reactions of baseline humans to what they equate to a new species isn't anything new (see: every X-Men film/comic ever) but thankfully isn't approached in the same way in every country/culture. It's a good mix of what you would expect from Vernor Vinge, Dan Simmons (specifically Illium and Olympus) and Charlie Stross. The action is fast paced and fairly brutal. Really looking forward to reading the sequels.
