Left me in a kind of pot-haze when I was done. Hard sci-fi buffs and Kurzweil fans will certainly be titillated by this one. Definitely recommended, Blackbourne is author to keep an eye on!

Having read Roko's Basilisk, I was excited to read Roko's Labyrinth. The story is set sixteen years after the events of the first book, and follows a young computer programmer, Nick Rose, as he is tasked with breaking into an AI system to find the secret to saving humanity. I loved the advances in technology since the first book. Most notably, humans have now developed a way of splicing robotic cells into their bloodstream, which give them the ability to slow down the senses and give them more time to think. The AIs have also evolved -- Roko's Basilisk has multiplied into hundreds of individual AIs, all of them fighting against humanity and each other.
