So what’s it about? Read more below.

When a young scientist is caught improving Nexus, he’s thrust over his head into a world of danger and international espionage – for there is far more at stake than anyone realizes.

From the halls of academe to the halls of power, from the headquarters of an elite US agency in Washington DC to a secret lab beneath a top university in Shanghai, from the underground parties of San Francisco to the illegal biotech markets of Bangkok, from an international neuroscience conference to a remote monastery in the mountains of Thailand - Nexus is a thrill ride through a future on the brink of explosion.

Sounds like a movie I’d love to see Aronofsky direct. Alas, he’s only producing as of now. The screenwriters are recent collaboraters, though, and by the time they’re done, Noah should be out. We can hope.

Have you read Nexus?
