This is very good.
I highly recommend this. If you like I Robot. I've seen the movie. But I have not read the book. Also this book reminds me of the movie Matrix. And was none stop action packed.
This book is a contender book of the year.
If you read this book there's raped if you are sensitive.

A little slow to get into, but very intriguing and believable science fiction. Would definitely recommend it to any tech junkies and computer nerds out there.
