Packed with useless filler
Revisado: 12-04-23
This is an irritating book. The author has decided to throw in totally unrelated long passages of sports event description full of sports jargon, This is is extremely annoying because he presumes that the immunology reading audience is interested in golf and baseball and sprinklers these liberally together with imperial measures. What a waste of my time.

Disappointing
Revisado: 02-23-23
This book is written in a style "me against the world". It is all big conspiracy of the companies, the US government and the medics to make people sick. And when it comes to the moment that the world is not US, it is all "we exported our food culture and they get sick". All very political and ad nauseum. I would not describe my self at all as right politically but the problem is placed on a politics-only plane and this is wrong. So I had to return the book after couple of hours listening and will use the credit for something else.
While there is certainly partial truth in blaming the companies, ultimately they do products which people want to buy. Everything done industrial is highly processed and this is the point. Nobody is interested in buying a ton of iron ore but many people want to buy a car. Not many people want to bring a cow to pasture and then milk it but many fancy an ice cream. And naturally driving a car and eating ice-cream is making you fat, but there is hardly a conspiracy there.

When Charlie comes into money, he buys Adam, one of the first batch of synthetic humans. With Miranda’s assistance, he co-designs Adam’s personality. This near-perfect human is beautiful, strong and clever - a love triangle soon forms. These three beings will confront a profound moral dilemma.

Interesting but linear
Revisado: 09-16-21
Masterfully writing and well flowing the story is kept simple. The different elements stay a little bit too separate and don't seem to mix in any too creative way. Overall nothing to complain about and good entertainment.
