This book is about a futuristic "drug" called Nexus that is actually a liquid containing nanobots that interfaces with the user's brain. When people take Nexus, they are able to feel the thoughts and emotions of other users around them. The main character of the book hacked the drug to allow him to install software on the nanobots to give him mental superpowers. There is a lot of emphasis on the moral questions that are raised by such technologies. The concept of the book was fascinating, but a lot of the plot is just action scene fillers, which weren't as interesting as the technological side of the book.
