Apex Summary

Apex by Ramez Naam

They call them the Apex - humanity's replacement. They're smarter, faster, better. And infinitely more dangerous. Global unrest spreads as mass protests advance throughout the US and China, Nexus-upgraded riot police battle against upgraded protestors, and a once-dead scientist plans to take over the planet's electronic systems. The world has never experienced turmoil of this type, on this scale. Humanity is dying. Long live the Apex.

Apex Reviews

Praise for the Neuxs series:

Good. Scary good.
- Wired

One of the Best Books of the Year
- NPR

Provocative... A double-edged vision of the post-human.
- The Wall Street Journal

A lightning bolt of a novel, with a sense of awe missing from a lot of current fiction.
- Ars Technica

Starred Review. Naam turns in a stellar performance in his debut SF novel... What matters here is the remarkable scope and narrative power of the story.
- Booklist

A superbly plotted high-tension technothriller ... full of delicious, thoughtful moral ambiguity ... a hell of a read.
- Cory Doctorow

A rich cast of characters...the action scenes are crisp, the glimpses of future tech and culture are mesmerizing.
- Publishers Weekly

A gripping piece of near future speculation... all the grit and pace of the Bourne films.
- Alastair Reynolds, author of Revelation Space

A sharp, chilling look at our likely future.
- Charles Stross, author of Singularity Sky and Halting State

The most brilliant hard SF thriller I've read in years. Reminds me of Michael Crichton at his best.
- Brenda Cooper, author of The Creative Fire

Any old writer can take you on a roller coaster ride, but it takes a wizard like Ramez Naam to take you on the same ride while he builds the roller coaster a few feet in front of you.
- John Barnes, author of Directive 51

Naam displays a Michael Crichton-like ability to explain cutting-edge research via the medium of an airport techno-thriller.
- SFX Magazine

An incredibly imaginative, action-packed intellectual romp!
- Dani Kollin, Prometheus Award-winning author of The Unincorporated Man

The only serious successor to Michael Crichton.
- Scott Harrison, author of Archangel
