read this book two days ago. hooked does not describe what I felt. I could not stop reading, in what was a shocking display if irresponsible behaviour, I spent my carefully accumulated free time lying in bed with a carton of corn flakes by the bedside (I need my nourishment, so no snide remarks) with this book on my tummy till I turned the last page and the carton (750g crunchy nut extra Free!) was empty.
I dont even want to talk about it for fear that it may spoil it for someone interested. One piece of advice, do not read the blurb when you buy the book.
I thought Richard Matheson was the most unputdownable Sci Fi writer, but Daniel Keyes is not far behind.
Just a brief glimpse - it is about artificially improving intelligence by enzymatic manipulation - sounds like a script for a B grade cheap horror flick. Dont judge it till you read it.
I guess it is something you relate to especially if you are involved in research, but it has so many undercurrents and I think one can relate to it depending on one's circumstances.
Living in a foreign country as a foreigner who is constantly looked upon as different, I could see it in a certain light which I would not have done if I was still in India, but that is just my personal interpretation.
Read it and let me know.
