If I go for this one, I'll be sure and read Locked In first. Evan Currie's book sounds like pure fun! I am glad you enjoyed that one, Jenclair.

While Haden's Syndrome is fictional, there really is a Locked-in Syndrome in which the mind is functional, but the entire body is paralyzed except for blinking. Scalzi's idea of solving the problem with robotic bodies that can move and communicate is fascinating.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-16548776026515538302018-05-02T05:38:22.163-05:002018-05-02T05:38:22.163-05:00I liked both books; such different examples of sci...I liked both books; such different examples of science fiction. :)jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-36053144652604616382018-05-01T15:47:03.771-05:002018-05-01T15:47:03.771-05:00I haven't read anything by John Scalzi but I k...I haven't read anything by John Scalzi but I know he's a favorite for many.
