Spin State, Chris Moriarty (3.5)
This book falls under the sub-category of Hard Science
Fiction. It is filled with current and futuristic physics. The story follows a
genetically modified military Major as she is assigned to investigate a death
of a famous physicist who was researching the material used for their quantum
travel in the dangerous mines of the Major’s home planet. The main themes of
the book are anthropological – such as the independence and civil rights of artificial
intelligence beings, and the social hierarchy of societies with various levels
of genetic modifications. This will not an easy Sci-Fi book to read for some
due to the detailed hard science, but the social questions add a good balance.
