With only a few cursory explanations, this story plunges you into a futuristic world in which mere thoughts can not only access the vast amounts of information available on the internet and through other sources, but can also alter your perception of the world around you as well as others' perception of you. Zel Aurora, a highly-skilled hacker with Asperger's, must sift through others actions and motivations as she attempts to fulfill her deal with the Djed, and in doing so, she hopes to save her daughter's life. This story contains multiple stories that are followed throughout the book and though some of them only converge briefly with the main storyline, I found them all interesting and the characters therein were very engaging. It took a bit of effort in the beginning to keep all the storylines straight, but you quickly come up to speed and it was definitely worth it in the end. I thought the story and characters explored many interesting questions, all in shades of gray without over-simplification. This book is the first in a trilogy, followed by The Godhead Machine and Neochrome Aurora (expected out early 2013). Excellent read!
