Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent - and nearly five million souls in the United States alone - the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.
Scalzi monta una buena historia aquí a partir de la premisa de que hay millones de personas "encerradas" en su cabeza y que viven y trabajan a través de robots. Le da una vuelta de tuerca a mitad del libro (sin dar más detalles) y se lee como el que ve una película de acción palomitera.
Seguiré leyendo cosas suyas que tengo en la biblioteca más adelante.
This is the only Scalziverse I have not dipped a toe into so I felt it was time to wrap that up. This was an engaging police procedural with a sci-fi premise. It had all the Scalzi quirks and a was a fast enjoyable read. I am not maybe going to rave about it as much as I have other Scalzi works because I felt the premise was a little divorced from the plot but this was still a fine read. Recommend.
