I've been wanting to read this book since it came out, and finally got a chance to borrow it from the library. Overall, it was a well-formed, quick-paced book, I dig sci-fi stories that are completely feasible.
Side note: A few days after I finished this book, a major telecom company in the US went down, and it reminded me of the fact that when the robots take over in this book, they knocked out all telecom. It totally freaked me out.
While I did enjoy this book, I'm not so sure if I'll continue the series. I don't feel like anything else needs to be added to the story.

Track

"I remember hearing ‘African Bombaataa’ by Planet Rock and at the time time I was way into breakdancing and that was my whole life at maybe 9/10 years old. But those sounds for those records were so futuristic and I was way in into robots as a kid and science fiction and that music completely sounded like it was from another planet. And at that point I knew I wanted to make and create music and do something futuristic of that sort. Obviously I took another path or different style to the music we ended up creating as my job but even to this day electronic music I’m still very passionate about."

"So say we all!"
2003 Minis-series that acts as a backdoor pilot into the series proper of the reimagined BSG, one of the highlights of the last 20 years sci-fi TV.

This helps set up the scene of said series: just why are the fleet looking for Earth whist being pursued by the Cylons: here, reimagined from the late 70s/earl 80s clanking Robots (although those models still exist) into near-perfect simulation of humankind who are able to infiltrate the 12 colonies before launching a genocidal attack.

And thus set up the central dilemma of the show: if anyone can be a Cylon (and maybe not even know it!), just who can you trust?
