MyReview:

This is another great read in the ethical SciFi category.  What constitutes “Being Human.”  Mary Pearson does a wonderful job at building character.  When it comes to painting, what makes one artist better than the others?  It is color–color that you know is unique to that artist.  The same can be said about Mary Pearson.  What I liked so much about this read was that I saw the characters, I felt what they were feeling.  This is a story about a young girl awakening from a coma, with little to no memory about her life, other than detailed facts about historical fact.  She was in an accident and was not suppose to survive, but as her memories and curiosity return, so does the realization about herself.

Silicon Jungle       :  With Google+ on the verge of release, this is a timely read to rethink how important your privacy is.  Shumeet Baluja  (Phd. @ Google) writes of a great Sci-Fi that is not so much Sci-Fi as it is foresight–Is Shumeet telling us something about Google’s plans of the future?   Can all this data-mining undermine our countries security?  A great storyline + great technology make for a quick read and one you will not want to put down.  This book gives the tech professional some great ideas for creating those web-based apps with MySQL underneath…. If for nothing else, a little more automation for your corporate office.  I really liked this book.
