I like Sci-fi. I am also working on my personal hypertext inside my head and follow down trails of books.

Did not catch me. What I liked was the lyrical speak and the brain implant concept but in it's core it had to little sci-fi elements for me to much "human" interest. In it's core it's a political murder mystery

This book is full of really good advice for entrepreneurs. If you ever feel stuck or that you're not doing what you love in your work, you might have hired away the tasks you truly enjoy and are now left with administrative work. You can calculate your effective hourly rate (the money your company spends on you divided by 8000) and then you'll have a number that tells you whether it's worth more for the company to hire someone else to do this work. With the freed-up time, you can return to the work you love and have the most impact on the company. The book also includes great advice for your vision and for moving forward in your business.

The "End and The Death" is the first volume in a two-part conclusion to the epic 62-book series known as the Horus Heresy. To fans of Warhammer, this book requires no introduction. It is a true masterpiece.
For those unacquainted with the world of Warhammer 40,000, the story takes place in the year 30,000, when the Emperor of Mankind creates genetically engineered superhumans to help him reunite Earth and conquer the galaxy. The creation of these superhumans is a result of the Emperor's use of ancient and forgotten technologies, as well as alien technologies and the mysterious energy known as the Warp.
Ships equipped with a Warp-Drive can travel faster than the speed of light, but the Warp is not an empty realm. The Warp, through with the ships travel, is a dimension teeming with beings that connect to human emotions and give them shape. These beings, or perhaps the …
The "End and The Death" is the first volume in a two-part conclusion to the epic 62-book series known as the Horus Heresy. To fans of Warhammer, this book requires no introduction. It is a true masterpiece.
For those unacquainted with the world of Warhammer 40,000, the story takes place in the year 30,000, when the Emperor of Mankind creates genetically engineered superhumans to help him reunite Earth and conquer the galaxy. The creation of these superhumans is a result of the Emperor's use of ancient and forgotten technologies, as well as alien technologies and the mysterious energy known as the Warp.
Ships equipped with a Warp-Drive can travel faster than the speed of light, but the Warp is not an empty realm. The Warp, through with the ships travel, is a dimension teeming with beings that connect to human emotions and give them shape. These beings, or perhaps the emotions themselves, become the catalyst for the Horus Heresy when the Emperor double-crosses them, and they seek to reclaim what they were promised - and more. The Warp's influence corrupts the superhumans and their brethren, sparking a bitter conflict that pits brother against brother.
The line between the Warp and reality is shattered, and millions of demonic entities are unleashed, while the Emperor sits on the golden throne, an ancient device that allows him to control the Warp and prevent a full-blown invasion of the galaxy. However, as he sits in silence, people begin to lose faith in him, and a rebellion fueled by the Warp and demonic forces breaks out, engulfing the galaxy in flames.
While the story may appear to be a typical tale of order versus chaos, it is also a tragic one, filled with flawed characters and heartbreaking moments. The Emperor, once thought to be invincible, is revealed to be imperfect. The superhumans, despite their incredible power, succumb to the Warp's influence. The Horus Heresy is a tale of epic proportions, a fight for the fate of the galaxy, and it is written with the utmost seriousness. However, it is also a story to be read with a twinkle in your eye, as it grips you and makes you root for one side or the other.
