Triggers

This book was very exciting, it made me think it was more a political thriller than a science fiction novel. In fact, the story of the president, terrorists, conspiracy would have been a fine story on its own, without the memory experiment thrown in. I liked his theory about quantum memory and the linking of human consciousness, but it got a little too new-agey at the end and also pretty similar to the theory presented in [b:Factoring Humanity 337133 Factoring Humanity Robert J. Sawyer https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1312027984s/337133.jpg 567094].

For readers that have never explored Sawyer's work, Triggers serves as a great introduction to his style of writing and the issues that he deals with in many of his works. For more entrenched fans of his work, it's an engaging look at consciousness and individuality, and how they relate to our responsibilities to the communities that we live in.
