| Alright guess I'll go ahead and start.
I thought the book was pretty good, though it seemed more on the short and sweet side. Reminded me of Ender's Game, on more then one level, not just the sci-fi alien war connection. The book was easy to read. Seemed like it would be a book i'd have read in high school.
The book is softcore sci-fi, along the lines of Star Wars/Trek. Could have used more hardcore sci-fi. I think he should have wrote more about his time in the field, the battles were usually pretty quick.
Overall I think if someone like Stackpole or Allston might have done better with the material.
The cloned bodies were interesting.
If you were to record all of your memories/personality traits onto a HD and then plugged it into another body, would it be you? or would there still be something missing? Kind of a Ghost in the Shell thing to it.
All of the medical upgrades sounded plausible, like the smartblood.
Do you think synthetic human bodies would ever be accepted in real life? We have synthetic body parts already. |
