Rating: 5 out of 5

It's fun to read a book where someone has imagined how the world could look if given all the tools the author thought should be made available. For me, building is more of a joy than any amount of destruction. And this book had it in spades!My only complaint is about "food professors." Was this a cell phone novel, and the auto-correct was correcting as fast as M. Nuttall could type? Amazon's people won't be happy with me for all the typos I sent in. But hey, that's me. If a word just glares at me and keeps me from enjoying all the other words, and I have the means to do something about it so others won't have to stumble upon those words, I will do something about it.One of my favorite parts was where 17 people had already highlighted a passage, and then a paragraph or so later I highlighted some that made the previous highlighting ironic. At least to me. I suppose if you read this now, you will find what I mean.I also compliment M. Nuttall for writing as if he was an American. It made this work feel so different from say his Ark Royal and Nelson Touch novels. This ouevre made me a much bigger fan of his work than I was before.
