I sent feedback to the author and found out this book was written some time ago so I won't be harsh about some of the initial outdated computer models.
I felt it could stand for some further editing. At points it just got too descriptive about process and i felt it needs some punch ups in action. For instance, in the begining, we outline the process the lead scientist uses but after a quick explination, i could have gone without the details of subsequent sessions. Later in the book there are some conversations that ultimately don't seem pertenant. And the assistant to the Lady in the last half seems to have a contrived role.
That said, I liked the story. I liked where it went. I felt about 2/3 through (on a podium at CNN) would have been a good stopping point. Leave the last 1/3 for a followup book. I also felt the Epologue / Addendum set roughly 300 years later was not needed. I think it was to give a wrap up for people who like wrap ups. I would have preferred more of a "wait and see..." that would make me crave a followup book.
