Based on the premise of realising the huge potential of our brains, I actually quite enjoyed this technothriller and found myself being drawn back to read more. It is a bit clumsy at times in terms of style, it has good creativity, the characters are well defined, but it is a bit too cheesy.
An enjoyable read with an interesting reality that builds on a number of technologies that already exist (albeit in a more primitive manner).

Just finished "The Immortality Code". Thank you so much for the analogies. I feel like I finally have a VERY basic understanding of some of the quantum entanglement and higher dimensional thinking (the jack card can only see one piece of the paper). I read "The Grand Biocentric Design" earlier this year and I couldn't wrap my head around some of the concepts. You did an outstanding job!
