I met this author and picked up this book at WorldCon in 2015. Because my to-read pile is actually several boxes of books in a trench coat I just now got around to reading it. It's kind of what I think of as sci-fi of the old school, mostly about the tech, with rather thin characterizations. That said, it's a fun and engaging read. Recommended if you enjoy stories about biohackery, which I do.
