Acerca de esta escucha
With his first invention, Mickey Campbell has already lost one legal battle. Surely this time it will be different. Joining forces with Theo Spencer, his long-time friend and a genius in neural science, they will create a device that will allow humans to access information from computers and send it directly into their brains, using a mental interface.
But when headstrong Theo starts experimenting with an altered interface, using his own body, the device starts serving a different purpose. Should Mickey continue helping his friend, or should he put his foot down and stop everything?
Together, and with help from beautiful assistant Felicia Jones, they will explore how far the technology can go while testing the bonds of their friendship. And the world will be impacted by the ramifications of their choices.

Cue was perfectly happy working as a tech super in the dingy basement of Seattle's Superhero Office. Or at least he was until he got mixed up with a machine that could increase superpowers, foreign agents, and a fire-wielding gang of criminals. Now he's dodging fireballs and using his power to change old tech into something that can keep him alive. Luckily, he has a knack for being a hero.

In the Nevada desert, an experiment has gone horribly wrong. A cloud of nanoparticles (micro-robots) has escaped from the laboratory. This cloud is self-sustaining and self-reproducing. It is intelligent and learns from experience. For all practical purposes, it is alive. It has been programmed as a predator. It is evolving swiftly, becoming more deadly with each passing hour. Every attempt to destroy it has failed. And we are the prey.

In a world full of super powers, Felix has a pretty crappy one. He has the ability to modify any item he owns. To upgrade anything. Sounds great on paper. Almost like a video game. Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities. With that in mind, Felix settled into a normal life. A normal job. His entire world changes when the city he lives in is taken over by a super villain. Becoming a country of one city. A city state.

For decades scientists have speculated about the untapped potential of the human brain. Now, neuroscientist Chuck Brenton has made an astonishing breakthrough. He has discovered the key - the crucial combination of practice and conditioning - to access the incredible power dormant in 90 percent of our brains.

What if life as we know it was just a game? What if instead of traditional schools, children learned by participating in a virtual reality simulation, one that allowed them to experience "life" from birth to death - multiple times? What if one player, on his final play, could change the world forever?

This is the tale of Myr Sevii, a young woman who discovers a field that suppresses static electrical effects and warps space in a fashion that attracts protons. It's a hard science fiction exploration of what might happen if you were able to pull protons into a tiny volume and - having suppressed static repulsion - crush them together. The story examines how this new discovery affects Myr and will soon affect the world around her.

Great Story
This is a pretty imaginative well over exciting sci if story that is really good. The narrator however is ok but not great he does his character voices really well but his narration sounds grating and his voice is a little jarring when he's not doing a character and kept pulling me out of the story to think about it. He does to the characters well though hence the 3 start rating for narration.

This was surprising better-than-average sci-fi.
The book starts with Mickey, the main protagonist, ordering some burgers. I have no idea why this amused me so much, but it did.
The plot centers around Mickey (brains and an introvert) and Theo (brains but with charisma) building a brain-enhancement device. They have some early success, get funding, and then they bring in Felicia, who jointly serves as a professional colleague, love interest, and a checkpoint for reality.
Once all the characters are together, the story moves at good pace. Then it picks up. Then it really picks up. I did not think the craziness could go further, but it does.
Though I doubt this book will win any awards, it was decent sci-fi with a decent delivery.
