There are few books, such as this. This is a series that is intelligently written, well-structured and able to articulate what the soon-coming world will look. A library must-have that should re-read every year. Thanks for such a gift, Mr. Simpson. I wish I have more stars to give.
Strange. Interesting. But if left me somewhat unsatisfied, to be honest. Especially as a finale to the series, it fell flat with me. I did like the characters' thoughts on consciousness and artificial intelligence and the evolution of intelligence. But plot- and character-wise, it was a bit lacking. The end left me feeling like... "oh... ok, is that it?" Yet I was intrigued enough to keep reading the whole trilogy, and I'm not one to finish a series if I'm not enjoying it at all. There were enough new (to me) ideas and a tense enough plot that I would be intrigued by more books from this author.
