Brilliant stuff, if you like hard sci fi you will love it, personally the best book i have ever read.
Basically a book filled with varying theories touching subjects such as sentience vs intelligence, the mind, the human condition etc.
And the scientific explanation for the existance of vampires is awesome.
I highly recommend this book, you will lose many hours of sleep reading,

Well good. If I find the time I might read it at some point. Just not in the foreseeable future.
