This book gave me more that I didn’t know about mentoring than any other resource I’ve ever come across

Anecodotal evidence shoehorned into his world view

Revisado: 08-27-18

This one just didn't do it for me. In part, this is because I just don't think his conclusions apply to me in the slightest, but I might have thought more carefully about them if there had been ANY kind of scientific study. Instead, it seems that something occurred to him at one point, and then he found a way to interpret a handful of other people's struggles through that lens. It's possible that he's got some good points for some people, but there's no way to tell.

Amazing. Scary in how plausible this all is

There's very little here that couldn't really be done within 5 years or so. This and Daemon have given me something to think about!

Very very slow, poorly explained premise, not much happens

Revisado: 05-20-17

The precarious state humans are in was never reasonably explained in this book. Neither was the sci Fi premise behind it. So in the end it was just a political sorry with flat characters.

A very poor ending to an otherwise good series

Revisado: 04-14-17

What did you like best about Fear the Future? What did you like least?

The narration was excellent

What was most disappointing about Stephen Moss’s story?

Spoiler Alert:

This thing about Neil was so frustrating. First of all, what he was sent to prison for isn't something that the conspirators even knew about. So what prompted the conspirators to even start their insurgency was beyond me.

Second, Neil had always had the ability to work with Ayala before and had always spoken his mind before. If she was freaking him out, everything in their history to date suggested they'd have discussed it.

Third, the morality was a little too black and white. Yeah sure the pilots thing was distasteful, but a) the kids were utterly miserable in North Korea, b) they were going to die from the Mobiliei, c) they were the only legitimate option to take on the Mobiliei in the end anyway. And honestly, the underlying Sci-Fi bit in this world where the only edge humans have on the machines is SPEED was crazy, and that's what this whole plot line was predicated on anyway.

Fourth, the AI's wind up being everyone's conscience

Fifth, the deux ex machina at the end

Sixth, all of the world's leaders acted like the jerks they seem to always be, but then as soon as the character with the toughness to bring them to heal gets thrown in prison, they decide to go all kumbaya

Seventh, Mini et. al then don't tell the humans that the fight is going to be much much sooner? Well, there goes their moral high ground, as well as their intellectual superiority. If you have X time, you may come up with plan A. But if you have only half that time, you may have to come up with a completely different plan. (Like say, prioritizing the work with Bergit)

I realize this book must have been a challenge, because the ultimate fight was to be so brief that some form of conflict was needed. I'm not sure how else it could have been handled. But this was unsatisfying.

Amazing

It would be a lot of fun to take see physics class where they went over all of this stuff in detail. One of the best books I've read in years

Horrid book, with matching narration

Revisado: 11-17-10

Kahlen apparently got a lobotomy. Richard suffers her stupidity. Book and series ruined, since it seems that the next book is even worse. I'll just stop now.
