[nesfa-reading-group] Book choices for November and December

[Boogalouis]

While I'm still interested in Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology, I just heard a glowing review for a book called Nexus by Ramez Naam

Summery: 
In the near future, the experimental nano-drug Nexus can link human together, mind to mind. There are some who want to improve it. There are some who want to eradicate it. And there are others who just want to exploit it. When a young scientist is caught improving Nexus, he's thrust over his head into a world of danger and international espionage -- for there is far more at stake than anyone realizes.

A little last minute, I know, but … well ... I just heard the review.

Feel free to suggest titles for both months. I'll take suggestions for the duration of the week. We will vote next Sunday (7/30/17) for both months. Until then, nominations are open. Knock yourself out!
