This novel takes place in the near future, where a disease called Hayden's Syndrome has infected some of the population, leaving them bed-bound with a functioning brain. The main character is Chris, who has Haden's and is a new FBI agent, using an android, nicknamed a 'threep'.
This is definitely a police-procedural novel with a future twist. I liked the mix a lot. Scalzi's characterizations are always good, and this was no exception. I devoured the book in two days and promptly moved onto the sequel.

Doesn't have the same feel
Take me back to the park
Well I'm surprised there is a 3rd series to be honest. We are now in our world, set in the near future. The look and design is amazing along with the technology on show. Delores has gone rouge and is on her own personal mission... But is it to bring our world crashing down?
It's a confusing plot even for Westworld. It's lost something in the feel of the show now it has left the park. Still with some great scenes and great twists. It's only 8 episodes long compared to the usual 10. If you love the show you'll want to watch it, but might be better to watch it in just a few sittings to keep on track with the plot.

Yes totally different feel to it this series, tried to make it global but didn't really succeed. Still good fun to watch.

Devious test of emerging A.I robotics on an unknowing participant that is both claustrophobic and unpredictable.
It feeds into our fear of the undiscovered country that is A.I and gives us a glimpse into possibilities of the near future and if there could be coexistence.
The small cast is perfect, and the script intelligent, unfortunately for some the pacing might be a little slow.

This is hands down amazing !!
The photography of the recipes, the descriptive words, and the overall colorful author make this a "vegan" chocolate lovers dream! I am truly impressed and quite possibly going to be in a sugar coma in the near future...
I highly recommend this book for any one from beginner to professional. Everyone can come away with something from this book. FIVE Stars.

Promising but ultimately disappointing
I've loved some of Hugh Howey's other works and I had high hopes for his take on a romantic novel, but sadly this was pretty disappointing. It had promise, with an interesting plot based around a romance taking place in a near future where the sea levels have risen and shells are becoming extinct. Howey writes very well and I can't fault him for that, I just felt he concentrated too much on the predictable romance side than developing the scientific future aspect. The characters too were nothing special, and the whole book just felt very rushed.
