I honestly have trouble with writing this review. It is not like anything I have ever read. The format is strange but if you pay attention you can follow. First of all it combines Jewish mysticism, techie science fiction, medical science fiction, espionage, murder, and I have no doubt there is something I have not covered. Oh yes, it is kind of a love story but that is never made clear. It is interesting that the author chooses to identify one of the main characters as actually himself, but describes himself as completely disgusting and no one I would ever want to know personally. However, identifying himself as the character helps to give a sense of reality to what I certainly hope is fiction. Nothing is ever made completely clear and nothing is really resolved but it is absolutely not a cliffhanger. Every time it seems the story is winding up there is a radical turn in direction and everything changes.
I recommend reading this book. The talks with the rabbi are the best part but keep going after that. There are ideas to make me think and try new perspectives and that is a good thing. I do not feel a need to run out and find more by this author but I really do encourage reading this book and deciding for yourself. I also need to add, it is possibly the strangest book since reading "A Creed for the Third Millennium", however, I would recommend this one and would not recommend the other to anyone. McCullough is a great writer but "Creed" is not only strange but just dumb. This one is even stranger than Creed.
I am rambling. Goodbye and have a blessed day..

Genosumulation is an intriguing, entertaining book that gets you thinking about what is or is not possible with science today.
The way the book is written is different and does take a bit to get used to. Which is fine. It means that you are paying attention to what you are reading. The story is in some ways easy to guess but in other ways not so much. It does make me a little nervous about what may be really happening in some of the think tanks around the world.

An enjoyable read from a unique book!
It took a little while to get into the style of the book as most of it is in the form of emails between two people but once you'd got that it was a decent story to follow.
It's described on Amazon as a "science fiction conspiracy technothriller" which is accurate enough!
Hard to add much more without being too "spoilery"

It is an engrossing read. A few point where it is hard to follow due to formatting but really is an excellent read...making you question a few things.
